Nestlé 課題

Nestlé has various needs in translation and localization across different dimensions:

Consumer-based communications (multilingual websites, packaging…)
Employee communications (HR, training, production, market data…)
Global Business Services (operations centers located in specific countries)

Until recently, Nestlé was all about human translation. Translation was decentralized: each market or brand had its own process which resulted in high costs and long delivery time.

SYSTRAN translate Server

Around 3,000 users at Nestlé have access to SYSTRAN Machine Translation to translate in 32 languages, mainly European and Asian languages to cover the needs of the headquarters in Europe and Global Business services centers in 7 different locations in the world, including the Philippines.

Nestlé uses SYSTRAN Pure Neural® Server hosted in a private cloud, matching their confidentiality requirements.

They also benefit from a seamless integration in their Translation Management System (XTM), thanks to SYSTRAN connector.

Benefit

Machine translation is used by several departments to address a wide variety of use cases

Nestlé approached SYSTRAN to implement Machine Translation (MT) for 3 main reasons: process more translation volumes, reduce costs and ensure the confidentiality of the translated contents. The demand came mainly from their legal department and the global business services center that operates in 7 different locations around the world.

Machine Translation became useful in many different situations. 2 major use-cases were implemented for technical and legal documents:

MT-only for document understanding purposes, with a quick file translation functionality handling several types of documents including contracts or faxes (with the need for a solution able to process scanned documents or PDFs)
MT + Post-editing: incorporating MT in the human translation process, through a
seamless TMS integration (XTM) which enables translators to use MT to optimize
their productivity and translation workflow
