PARIS, Aug. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new study on the accuracy of AI and Machine Translation (MT) software has shown the tools are more accurate at translating written text than people might think - in some cases requiring zero edits from professional linguists.
- Conducted by Weglot and language consultants Nimdzi , the research evaluated and compared five of the leading Machine Translation providers - Amazon Translate, DeepL, Google Cloud, Microsoft Translator, and ModernMT.
- Italian was the most difficult language to translate with an average acceptability score of 2.6, while German scored the highest at 3.4.
- The rest of the scores include Spanish (3.2), Portuguese (3), Arabic (3), French (2.9), and Simplified Chinese (2.8).
- Machine translation has reached a level of maturity where it now complements, rather than replaces, human linguists."
