Description

Language translation software is positioned as globalization software solutions. Localization relates to the adaptation of products or services to the cultural, legal, linguistic, and technical requirements of a specific locale.

Exchanged of data between systems is automated using Web Services. Use of Web Services simplifies the translation process and reduces turnaround times by enabling translation-ready content that is ready to be detected, gathered for submission, posted, tracked, and pulled back automatically.

Some words have different meanings and syntactic behavior, depending on the semantic context in which they are used. Even with specialized dictionaries the quality of the translation cannot always be satisfactory because of the total freedom and productivity of content on the web; the dictionaries selected cannot be the exact domain glossary due to extreme diversity; and the impossible task of having a complete description of all possible domains (a problem not only of cost, but of expertise).

No generic MT system can solve translation problems. The key to having a good translation is to have a good writer. The writer is an educated person able to create sentences that make sense and paragraphs that flow. This is central to the translation market.

Worldwide language translation software license shipments market shares analysis indicates that IBM is the leader with its WebSphere product that supports Portal. IBM has 58% market share.

Localization translation software market forecasts indicate that markets become $1 billion markets by the end of the forecast period. Software is becoming much more accurate as it combines the separate algorithms that have been used hitherto to create more accurate systems.
