Entry of Big Data into Translation
We are all aware of the fact that with each passing moment, the amount of accessible
data in our worlds is continuously increasing
W.P. Carey School of Business that all known human data doubles around every 1.2
years. The term ‘data’ here may refer to facts or figures from both traditional and digital
sources – it could be online interactions on social media platforms, or even product
transaction information at a retail store.
It is estimated that by the year 2020, there will probably be four times more digital data
than all the grains of sand on the earth.
What emerges is known as ‘Big Data’
Microsoft founder Bill Gates wasn’t exactly kidding when he said, “If your business is not
on the internet, then your business will be out of business.”
A study carried out by the Common Sense Advisory estimated that online consumers
all around the world together have an estimated spending power of fifty trillion dollars –
in figures that is equivalent to 50 followed by twelve zeroes.
Taking into account all the internet users on this planet, just about one-third speak or
understand the English language – which eventually boils down to this: The spending
potential of almost 98 per cent of online consumers can only be tapped if content in the
English language is translated into 48 other languages spoken by people all over the
world.
Case Study:
Let’s assume that a company named ‘X’ is looking to make it big on the global front,
having consolidated its position locally.
The best way forward for it is this – number one, translate its content into different
languages (based on the language spoken by its target audience in a particular region)
so that it can put across the message it stands for and let the audience/consumer know
about the product/service that it is pitching; number two, efficiently manage and
prioritize the flood of global information available to it (read: Big Data) and seek to
decipher the needs and wants of its consumers.
This efficient management is made possible by cloud-driven Big Data
Now the question arises: How does this Big Data actually help companies?
Is it really worth the time and effort wading into the ever-piling up details to come up
with a few conclusions?
The answer can be summed up thus: Big Data is the next big thing because it can offer
a huge competitive advantage to a company, becoming the premise for growth and
enhanced productivity for a firm. Summed up in a couple of points, here’s what all Big
Data is capable of:
In the field of health care, the health outcomes of widely prescribed
pharmaceuticals are being analyzed to discover both benefits and risks of drugs. This
wasn’t possible earlier in limited clinical trials.
Be it kids’ toys or other heavier industrial products, thanks to Big Data,
researchers are able to use data present in the embedded sensors of these
objects to find out how exactly the same mechanism can be replicated to
design new products on a larger scale and used to make life more comfortable
in the real world.
‘Nowcasting’ – which has been made possible due to the real-time nature of Big
Data – refers to the capability to record and analyze metrics such as consumer
confidence, consumer preferences and intent, and other relevant data along
similar lines related to buyers and suppliers. What could previously only be
carried out in a retrospective manner can now be tested and predicted in real-
time.
Jason Silva, co-founding host, Current TV had this to say, “I think Big Data is a new way
of understanding the world, we can measure so much more than we ever could, and
now we are going to be able to visualize so much more than we ever could.”
Although the full potential of Big Data is still unknown, what has been safely established
is this – As more and more accurate and detailed information is being collected and
stored in digital form (for instance, transactional data related to customer behaviour for
one), Big Data has the ability to pave the way for more explicitly tailored products and
services,customized for the needs of a particular target audience.
And in a world which is driven by this Big Data, it is but a prerequisite for businesses to
be able to translate millions of words on a continuous basis in order to reach the
masses.
Herein lies a catch. Agreed – Big Data undoubtedly compounds the challenges faced by
companies which have to keep up with both translation coupled with the insights
provided by the analysis of Big Data to keep ahead of its competitors.
But then we all know that the most an expert human translator can manage is around
2500-3000 words per day. Also, even though machine translations are supposed to be
faster, they have the limitation of having only a limited number of phrases to draw upon,
resulting in somewhat fragmented translations at times.
How then can the world of translation cope up with Big Data in tow?
The answer lies in cloud-based platforms, which are still somewhat in a stage of infancy,
but emerging fast.
Offering access to a large number of translators at one go, these platforms help build
up translation memory at a rapid pace, leading to an improved quality of machine
translation.
No doubt, considerable human intervention and intelligence is still a necessity to even
out the inconsistencies (say, between raw numbers and those that depict actual
business value) even in this case to ensure that the final translations are up to the mark.
But this presently evolving human-meets-Big Data way of functioning holds great
promise as companies think of expanding their operations on a global level.
As we step into a machine translation-driven future controlled by cloud-based tools
which manage translation and Big Data all over the world,
Here are two major predictions for the coming years from the czars of the translation
industry:
1. As mobile devices and social media continue to rule the roost in content
creation, a WEM (Web Experience Management) system will be the next thing
to come up
2. Predictive analytics, thanks to Big Data-driven cloud platforms, will be the next
big thing to give birth to and build translation memory encompassing all kinds
of content.
In the words of Patrick P. Gelsinger, CEO of the US cloud and virtualization software
company VMware, “Data is the new science. Big Data holds the answers. Are you
asking the right questions?”
Thank You...

Entry of big data into translation

  • 1. Entry of Big Data into Translation
  • 2. We are all aware of the fact that with each passing moment, the amount of accessible data in our worlds is continuously increasing W.P. Carey School of Business that all known human data doubles around every 1.2 years. The term ‘data’ here may refer to facts or figures from both traditional and digital sources – it could be online interactions on social media platforms, or even product transaction information at a retail store. It is estimated that by the year 2020, there will probably be four times more digital data than all the grains of sand on the earth. What emerges is known as ‘Big Data’
  • 3. Microsoft founder Bill Gates wasn’t exactly kidding when he said, “If your business is not on the internet, then your business will be out of business.” A study carried out by the Common Sense Advisory estimated that online consumers all around the world together have an estimated spending power of fifty trillion dollars – in figures that is equivalent to 50 followed by twelve zeroes. Taking into account all the internet users on this planet, just about one-third speak or understand the English language – which eventually boils down to this: The spending potential of almost 98 per cent of online consumers can only be tapped if content in the English language is translated into 48 other languages spoken by people all over the world.
  • 4. Case Study: Let’s assume that a company named ‘X’ is looking to make it big on the global front, having consolidated its position locally. The best way forward for it is this – number one, translate its content into different languages (based on the language spoken by its target audience in a particular region) so that it can put across the message it stands for and let the audience/consumer know about the product/service that it is pitching; number two, efficiently manage and prioritize the flood of global information available to it (read: Big Data) and seek to decipher the needs and wants of its consumers. This efficient management is made possible by cloud-driven Big Data
  • 5. Now the question arises: How does this Big Data actually help companies? Is it really worth the time and effort wading into the ever-piling up details to come up with a few conclusions? The answer can be summed up thus: Big Data is the next big thing because it can offer a huge competitive advantage to a company, becoming the premise for growth and enhanced productivity for a firm. Summed up in a couple of points, here’s what all Big Data is capable of: In the field of health care, the health outcomes of widely prescribed pharmaceuticals are being analyzed to discover both benefits and risks of drugs. This wasn’t possible earlier in limited clinical trials.
  • 6. Be it kids’ toys or other heavier industrial products, thanks to Big Data, researchers are able to use data present in the embedded sensors of these objects to find out how exactly the same mechanism can be replicated to design new products on a larger scale and used to make life more comfortable in the real world. ‘Nowcasting’ – which has been made possible due to the real-time nature of Big Data – refers to the capability to record and analyze metrics such as consumer confidence, consumer preferences and intent, and other relevant data along similar lines related to buyers and suppliers. What could previously only be carried out in a retrospective manner can now be tested and predicted in real- time.
  • 7. Jason Silva, co-founding host, Current TV had this to say, “I think Big Data is a new way of understanding the world, we can measure so much more than we ever could, and now we are going to be able to visualize so much more than we ever could.” Although the full potential of Big Data is still unknown, what has been safely established is this – As more and more accurate and detailed information is being collected and stored in digital form (for instance, transactional data related to customer behaviour for one), Big Data has the ability to pave the way for more explicitly tailored products and services,customized for the needs of a particular target audience. And in a world which is driven by this Big Data, it is but a prerequisite for businesses to be able to translate millions of words on a continuous basis in order to reach the masses.
  • 8. Herein lies a catch. Agreed – Big Data undoubtedly compounds the challenges faced by companies which have to keep up with both translation coupled with the insights provided by the analysis of Big Data to keep ahead of its competitors. But then we all know that the most an expert human translator can manage is around 2500-3000 words per day. Also, even though machine translations are supposed to be faster, they have the limitation of having only a limited number of phrases to draw upon, resulting in somewhat fragmented translations at times. How then can the world of translation cope up with Big Data in tow? The answer lies in cloud-based platforms, which are still somewhat in a stage of infancy, but emerging fast.
  • 9. Offering access to a large number of translators at one go, these platforms help build up translation memory at a rapid pace, leading to an improved quality of machine translation. No doubt, considerable human intervention and intelligence is still a necessity to even out the inconsistencies (say, between raw numbers and those that depict actual business value) even in this case to ensure that the final translations are up to the mark. But this presently evolving human-meets-Big Data way of functioning holds great promise as companies think of expanding their operations on a global level. As we step into a machine translation-driven future controlled by cloud-based tools which manage translation and Big Data all over the world,
  • 10. Here are two major predictions for the coming years from the czars of the translation industry: 1. As mobile devices and social media continue to rule the roost in content creation, a WEM (Web Experience Management) system will be the next thing to come up 2. Predictive analytics, thanks to Big Data-driven cloud platforms, will be the next big thing to give birth to and build translation memory encompassing all kinds of content. In the words of Patrick P. Gelsinger, CEO of the US cloud and virtualization software company VMware, “Data is the new science. Big Data holds the answers. Are you asking the right questions?”
