Hello LingvoHouse Community! 🌟
We hope you're enjoying a fantastic summer! While the season is in full bloom, we’ve been busy with projects and business development, working tirelessly to bring you the best in translation and language services. 🌐
Industry Highlights 🔍
In June and July 2024, the translation industry saw significant developments driven by AI and technological advancements. At Slator Con Remote in June, industry leaders discussed the refinement of AI-driven translation tools and their impact on job roles and skills within the localisation sector. Emphasis was placed on the importance of balancing technological innovation with human expertise, particularly in maintaining cultural and contextual accuracy in translations.
Additionally, new ISO standards for translation quality evaluation were introduced, providing a framework for more objective assessment of translation outputs. This is crucial for meeting client specifications and maintaining high standards in the industry.
These discussions and developments underscore a period of transition in the translation industry, where the integration of advanced AI tools is being carefully balanced with the preservation of human expertise and quality standards.

How Translation Technology is Revolutionising Language Learning 📚
Imagine a world where language barriers dissolve with the tap of a screen, where learning a new language becomes an immersive adventure tailored to your needs. This is not a distant dream but a reality unfolding before us, thanks to cutting-edge translation technology.
For translators, this evolution is not just fascinating—it’s an opportunity. AI-powered tools like Google Translate and DeepL are now integral to language learning apps such as Duolingo and Babbel , providing instant translations and feedback that help learners grasp the nuances of new languages. But here's where it gets exciting: your expertise as a translator can enhance these tools, ensuring they capture cultural subtleties and linguistic accuracy.
How can translators leverage these advancements? Dive into the world of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), where language learning becomes a dynamic experience.
Picture this: a student points their phone at a street sign or menu and sees real-time translations, learning vocabulary in the context of their surroundings. Translators are crucial in developing these immersive experiences, shaping the future of education.
