NextMT

NextMT refers to the next generation of machine translation (MT) technologies that combine neural architectures, adaptive learning and linguistic data integration to deliver higher accuracy, contextual understanding and scalability. It represents the evolution from traditional rule-based or statistical MT to more intelligent, domain-adaptable translation systems.

Description

NextMT systems build on neural machine translation (NMT) foundations but add advanced capabilities such as domain adaptation, contextual memory, terminology enforcement and continuous learning. These features allow translation engines to fine-tune outputs in real time and reflect client-specific preferences, tone and style.

The key advantage of NextMT is its ability to learn dynamically from post-edited translations and human feedback. This results in continuously improving performance, delivering translations that better capture nuance, idiom and intent – not just literal meaning. At RWS, Language Weaver embodies the principles of NextMT. It combines secure neural MT with adaptive learning and customization, allowing organizations to achieve enterprise-grade translation accuracy across languages and domains. Integrated with Trados, NextMT reflects RWS’s ongoing investment in human-informed AI innovation.
