MachineTranslation.com Introduces Key Term Translations Feature

Achieving high-quality, accurate translations isn’t just a convenience—it’s a necessity. Whether you’re managing technical documentation for engineers in different countries or localizing a marketing campaign for diverse audiences, ensuring consistency and clarity is key. That’s where the new Key Term Translations on MachineTranslation.com comes in. 

This powerful tool lets you create industry-specific glossaries effortlessly, ensuring your content truly resonates with your audience. It also maintains precision and consistency in every translation.

Introducing the Key Term Translations: What it does

You’ve probably encountered situations where a single word has multiple possible translations, each with a completely different meaning. For example, consider the word “bank.” Depending on the context, it could refer to a financial institution, the side of a river, or even an incline used in a racecourse. How do you make sure that the translation tool understands your meaning every time? The answer is the Key Term Translations.

The Key Term Translations simplifies the creation of industry-specific glossaries by automatically generating bilingual glossaries from your source text and translations. This tool enhances translation consistency, saves time, and ensures that key terms are translated accurately across projects. MachineTranslation.com's new feature empowers you to take control of the language your business uses. You tell us what certain words mean for your company, and we make sure that’s the meaning used every time.

Let’s dive into how this can revolutionize your translation processes.

Easy integration and accessibility

Using MachineTranslation.com's Key Term Translations is incredibly straightforward. Once you log in, the platform automatically supplies the key term translations needed to build a robust glossary for your translation processes. 

Simply go down the platform and you will find the Key Term Translations that have been seamlessly integrated into other translation features you already use. After your glossary is created or uploaded, our translation engine automatically references it with every translation. This removes the need for constant terminology adjustments and ensures consistent accuracy from the beginning.

How Key Term Translations work


MachineTranslation.com's Key Term Translations tool extracts up to 10 key terms from the user's source text. Rather than defining these terms, it gathers translations for each key term from multiple NMT engines and LLMs, presenting the top 3 most common translations. This approach allows users to see variations in terminology across engines, helping them choose the most accurate or contextually relevant options.

Key Features:

  • Glossary Creation: The tool automates glossary generation from the source text, saving time and ensuring consistent translation of industry-specific terms.

  • Adaptable to Industry Needs: For technical fields like healthcare, legal,  and engineering, where terms may not translate directly, the tool ensures contextually correct terminology. For instance, in electrical engineering, "ground impedance" will maintain its technical meaning, regardless of language.

  • Brand Consistency: For marketing content, glossary entries can prevent brand names or slogans from being inaccurately translated, preserving brand integrity across languages.

By using more than one engine or LLM for each key term, MachineTranslation.com offers a nuanced, reliable approach to accurate term translations, customized for your project needs.

Real-life use cases for the Key Term Translations

Let’s explore how different industries can benefit from this feature:

Healthcare

In the healthcare industry, accuracy is everything. Misinterpretations can lead to confusion or even life-threatening errors. A pharmaceutical company, for example, could use the glossary generator to make sure that terms like “active ingredient” or “dosage form” are always translated accurately, ensuring compliance and safety.

Engineering

Technical documents often include highly specific terms that have no direct equivalent in the target language. With MachineTranslation.com’s glossary generator, you can add these terms and define how they should be translated. For example, the term “Fall-of-Potential method”—used in electrical engineering to measure resistance—must always be translated with that exact context to avoid misinterpretations that could affect safety or function.

Marketing and branding

Marketing professionals know that a single mistranslated word can change the entire message of an advertisement. Suppose you are localizing a campaign for a new line of skincare products. The term “GlowBoost” might have a specific brand connotation. With a glossary, you can ensure that “GlowBoost” is always used consistently in translations without any awkward literal translation attempts.

To wrap things up

The new Key Term Translations at MachineTranslation.com is designed to put the power back in your hands. No more dealing with awkward translations that fail to capture the essence of your brand or industry. Instead, you can take control, ensuring your content is understood exactly as you intended.

Whether you’re translating engineering documents, localizing marketing campaigns, or managing multilingual customer support, the glossary generator is a powerful ally in making sure your message is consistent and impactful.
