About Automated Real-time Translation (ART) Because of the requirement for speed and relative low cost, automated real-time translation is the only viable solution for real-time cross-language communication, collaboration and commerce on digital networks. Human translators may be more accurate than automated translation but they simply cannot translate quickly enough to meet the needs of high volume, real-time digital communications. When the Enterprise Translation Server is customized to a particular industry or company, the accuracy of translation can be very high. Automated real-time translation (ART) systems such as the Enterprise Translation Server are based on linguistically sophisticated machine translation technologies. The Enterprise Translation Server is programmed with comprehensive dictionaries and a collection of linguistic rules that translate one language into another without relying on human translators. An ART system interprets the structure of sentences in the source language (the language the user is translating from) and generates a translation based on the rules of the target language (the language the user is translating into). The process involves breaking down complex and varying sentence structures, identifying parts of speech, resolving ambiguities, and synthesizing the information into the components and structure of the new language.
