On January 28 we called for language industry peers to evaluate the new large language model Deepseek for translation tasks. More than 30 volunteers came forward, and the first results have already come in. We’re hoping to have at least 10-15 language combinations evaluated within the scope of this expercise. We will publish information as […]
Custom.MT has developed a translation plugin for Shopware 6, a Germany-based eCommerce platform. The plugin connects online stores with machine translation and GenAI workflows in our Console. Expanding European shops for cross-border trade is complex, and this application provides support for nuanced and high-quality automated translation for various product categories.

Close to 200 people attended the Custom.MT workshop on AI prompt engineering in localization on April 18-19. The event spanned 7 hours and covered a wide array of material. Participants created 535 prompts and executed generation tasks a total of 38,947 times. The models used in the exercises included OpenAI GPT-4 Turbo, Anthropic Claude 3, […]
This article details tactics to detect and label translation errors with GPT-4 AI model and to build bots for language quality assurance. In the example of error labeling above, Rembrandt’s name is misspelled. That’s a Fluency error – not something critical impeding our understanding, but looking sloppy on a marketing piece that refers to a […]
Localization teams in 2024 had a renewed interest in implementing AI translation in workflows. It was a reasonable way to trim their budgets and improve per-word costs. However, just like today, monetization often became a struggle because the mechanism to track human post-editing effort – unlike that of an AI – fairly and responsively is […]
On Monday, November the 6th, OpenAI upveiled the new improved models. Let’s explore the main features of GPT-4 Turbo and its possible implementations in the localization field. The release is a gauntlet of challenge to a broad range of AI companies. Not just LLM builders like Antropic and Cohere, but also speech recognition, synthetic voice, […]
The Golden Jubilee Locworld 50 conference recently concluded, leaving attendees with a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. As the conference ended, attendees struggled to distil key takeaways from this milestone event, evident in puzzled expressions. Conversations were peppered with puzzled expressions, furrowed brows, and hesitant responses. “Errr…” “Hmmm…” “(Shrug) Yeah.” After some contemplation, two recurring […]
Smartling, the enterprise AI-powered translation company, and Custom.MT, a machine translation platform, today announced a technology integration.
June came around and packed quite a punch with industry events! LocWorld49 just wrapped up in Malmo, Sweden (read our recap on that one here), and there were four online events last week: Global Ready by Smartling, SlatorCon by Slator, GlobalSake and LocTalk by Smartcat We attended the latter one and are excited to share our […]
Locworld49 in Malmo is a big success! This year’s European segment of the pivotal localization event underscores two key trends: large language model adoption and fully automated translation without a human in the loop, the industry’s endgame. Language model adoption On the LLM side, the initial hype has quieted down, paving the way for actual […]
