WASHINGTON, April 10, 2013: Automated Translation Leads Language Technology Trends | PRNewswire | Rock Hill Herald Online | Multilingues | Scoop.it
/PRNewswire/ --

Advancements in automated translation technology are increasing global demand for professional language services in 2013, the head of the world's leading language association said today.

Hans Fenstermacher, CEO of the Globalization and Localization Association (GALA), said automated machine translation, whereby computers translate content from one language to another without human intervention, are now becoming a mainstream tool for communication.

"Machine translation is approaching accuracy rates in the neighborhood of 80 percent today," Fenstermacher said. "By combining automated translation with the skills of trained professionals, it's now possible to increase the amount of multilingual communication dramatically—without sacrificing quality. The benefits for the language industry and the world's populations as a whole are staggering."

GALA cites three other technology trends that are driving demand for expanded language services:

 

Multimedia technologies will push the communication enterprise in areas like speech-to-speech translation, multilingual audio and video.Multilingual search will allow people to find anything they want in any language they want, no matter what language it was created in.Language technologies will continue to embrace less widely spoken languages, such as those in Asia and Africa, fueling demand for collaborative localization and managed workflows in multiple directions simultaneously.

Filipino nurses win language discrimination settlement

Filipino nurses win language discrimination settlement | Multilingues | Scoop.it

“A group of Filipino nurses who claimed they were mocked for their accents and ordered to speak "English only" won a nearly $1-million settlement against a Central California hospital where bosses and co-workers were allegedly urged to eavesdrop on the immigrant workers.

 

The $975,000 settlement, announced Monday by lawyers from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, is believed to be the largest language discrimination settlement in the U.S. healthcare industry, according to the Asian Pacific American Legal Center.

 

Officials at Delano Regional Medical Center insisted they did nothing wrong and settled the lawsuit only because it made financial sense. Under the terms of the settlement, however, the hospital must conduct anti-discrimination training and hire a monitor to track workplace conduct.”
