Machine Translation as a service at BMW
In a global enterprise like BMW, translating text is an often necessary, but time consuming and tedious task. Cutting down translation times from days to minutes with little to no manual work aids the business in working faster and more efficiently.
Over the past decade BMW’s translation department collected a significant amount of technical translations and developed a prescriptive multilingual dictionary that ensures consistent usage of terminology throughout the translation.
During a series of internal Proof of Concepts (PoC), the machine translation team at BMW created a methodology of injecting this data into the training process as well as enhancing the translation quality by using terminology during inference. This work resulted in trained neural models which are used in the translation pipeline.
