As the localization industry continues to grow and evolve, it is crucial for leaders in the field to stay up-to-date with the latest trends and innovations. To gain insight into where these leaders are investing their time in 2023, Nimdzi conducted a survey and has compiled the results. In our survey, Nimdzi asked localization professionals to list the focus areas and challenges they anticipate for 2023. The survey was conducted in January as a “New Year’s Resolution” survey.
The responses provide valuable insight into what goals and challenges are top of mind for the localization industry, and in this report we will provide a summary of the trends that can be identified from the data.
The year is 2023. Six years after the big neural MT push of 2017, it seems appropriate to say that machine translation (MT) has finally found its way in the localization industry. Most MT providers are producing reasonably acceptable baseline quality and MT solutions have never been more accessible. As a result, MT is becoming a reality in many organizations. What’s more, MT technology has reached a certain level of maturity in terms of customization and training.
