Cover Story: Professional translators increasingly use neural machine translation because of its expected efficiency gains. This is also true in the Directorate-General for Translation (DGT), the European Commission’s translation service. The standardized process used in DGT offered the opportunity to measure the efficiency gains of machine translation (MT) based on the actual production of translators in a real-life high-quality translation workflow. This was complemented with a survey addressed to the participating translators to gain insight into the perceived usefulness of MT. View this paper.
