European Commission spokesperson Eric Mamer<\/strong> announced at a press conference the EC’s willingness to partially automate the translation of its press review. The service will be guaranteed by the EU in-house machine translation tool “eTranslation”;<\/strong> and no, it will not replace the work of translators<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

eTranslation is a neural machine translation tool designed to make it easier for citizens to access information about the European Union in their preferred language. [\u2026] It allows users to automatically translate both texts or parts of texts and entire documents, in all 24 official languages of the EU.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The decision follows the current evolution of the information services global landscape, profoundly revolutionised by the internet and the use of social networks. In an increasingly connected and digitalised world, news spreads much faster than in the past, allowing continuous “minute-by-minute” updating<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This increasing speed meant, for example, that newspapers around the world opened their digital portals and social channels to reach users at every news story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediacy in communication<\/strong> has become of primary importance, and it is precisely from this need that the EU program for an instant automatic translation of all the news broadcast by the Commission is born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
