Lexcelera Challenges

LSPs such as Lexcelera face different challenges. They need precise knowledge of their customers’ industries to master their terminologies in their specific areas of expertise.

Moreover, the language industry is undergoing a major transformation with the digitalization and the introduction of AI. Lexcelera teams no longer produce words but their skills evolved towards data preparation to train Machine Translation and post-edition.

Since the machine and the human translator are complementary, linguistic skills are even more important, as well as semantic analysis, mastering technical translation of specific business domains…

Benefit

Improving quality through translation model self-training

Lexcelera is using MT since 2008. Lexcelera started to investigate for MT when one of their clients challenged them to look for online solutions to save time and reduce costs. After a benchmark of several solutions, it appeared that SYSTRAN was the best one for the languages they were seeking at that time (French, German, Italian, Spanish). The important thing is that, thanks to MT they can gain in time and money while offering to their clients a very good quality of translation.

Since the introduction of SYSTRAN Model Studio, they are now able to train their own MT models in complete autonomy, their linguistic expertise and quality data being key in making the models more accurate for easier post-edition as a result.
