What is machine translation and AI translation – and when does it make sense to use it?
Machine translation (MT) uses artificial intelligence to automatically transfer content into other languages. Modern MT systems are based on neural networks or large language models (LLM) and deliver very good results – especially for repetitive, factual texts.
When used correctly, MT offers enormous benefits: it saves time, reduces costs and enables scalable, multilingual communication – especially for large volumes and short time-to-market periods.
Machine translation makes sense if …
- large amounts of text need to be translated quickly;
- internal communication or information documents are being translated;
- cost-efficiency is a priority;
- post-editing ensures that the quality of the translation is high.
Combined with human expertise, MT becomes a real solution – not a risk.

Frequently asked questions about machine translation
Machine translation (MT) is the automatic translation of texts using artificial intelligence. Modern systems are based on neural networks or large language models (LLM) and deliver very good results – especially when it comes to standardised and factual content.
MT is particularly suitable for large amounts of text, internal communication, technical content, product data and other formats with a high degree of repetition. In combination with post-editing, it is also suitable for translating publicly visible content efficiently and cost-effectively.
Machine translation generates the first raw translation automatically. In post-editing, our professional linguists revise the text in order to ensure the correct and appropriate use of language, style and terminology. This ensures that the translation is comprehensible, correct and in line with the brand’s values.
Yes. Our MT set-ups can be linked to translation memories and terminology databases. This ensures that your corporate language remains consistent, even in the case of machine translation.
Absolutely. We operate our systems in compliance with the GDPR and offer hosting on Swiss servers. Apostroph is certified in accordance with ISO 27001 – your sensitive content is in safe hands with us.
Yes. With our apoCONNECTORS, we integrate machine translation directly into your system landscape – e.g. CMS, PIM or editorial systems. This enables translation processes to be automated and simplified.
Yes. We develop tailor-made MT set-ups that are tailored to your text types, languages and quality requirements – including platform, interfaces, post-editing and strategic consulting.
