Summary: It's little surprise translators are suspected to have a love-hate relationship with technology: translation tools (translation memories, machine translation) are usually developed not to help us, but to cut our wages. That being said, they can indeed help us become more productive and increase our profits if we embrace them and use them our way. This webinar will present the basics of machine translation, show how to customize it to our needs (that is, to different types of text we translate), and how to combine it with translation memories. A few tips for expediting post-editing of machine-translation output will be provided."
