However, during high-demand periods, its internal staff reached capacity, necessitating costly support from external translators and agencies. However, the quality of these translations often fell short of expectations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeking to enhance efficiency and quality, the company consulted Phrase to harness the potential of machine translation (MT) to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduce turnaround times<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increase translation quality<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increase daily workload capacity<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better manage and flatten production peaks internally<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cut costs by reducing dependency on external translation services<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure continuous engagement for its in-house linguists<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In response, Phrase recommended its <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/phrase.com\/platform\/custom-ai\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phrase Custom AI <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">solution. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"acf\/text-block_966822c5dc0bde46644ac68ca843328e\" class=\"pxblock pxblock--text alignfull spacing--default bg--white\">\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"wysiwyg animate-in\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"subhead\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Solution<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weaving Wonders with Machine Translation\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a seasoned Phrase client, the fashion brand seamlessly integrated Phrase Custom AI. This integration refined translation speed and quality, managed high-demand periods internally, and minimized reliance on external translation resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fashion brand also showed a keen interest in enhancing linguistic quality through machine translation (MT).

Upon verifying the fashion brand&#8217;s readiness with at least 10,000 segments for MT engine training, Phrase took action. It\u00a0 supported the selection and cleansing of data using sophisticated AI-driven filters, streamlining what is typically a labor-intensive task for linguists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Further assistance from Phrase enabled the fashion brand to train the Phrase NextMT engine and evaluate its performance. A dedicated workshop was also conducted to show how to further train and implement additional MT models efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remarkably, the transition from initial consultation to full deployment spanned less than two weeks. As an existing Phrase client, the fashion brand effortlessly migrated its data to Phrase Custom AI via a simple click from the Phrase Translation Management System (TMS).
