With machine translation (MT) now part of everyday workflows, translators face a vital question: how transparent and reliable are these tools? AI is no longer just a black box—it’s being held to clearer standards. Professionals need to know how their data is used, what influences translation outputs, and how to verify results.
As of February 2025, the updated EU AI Act requires providers of general-purpose AI systems to explain core functions, data handling practices, and risk mitigation strategies. For MT systems, this means greater clarity about training data, how translations are generated, and where user content is stored and processed. Trust is built not only on output quality but also on openness and ethical data use.
Choosing AI translation tools that are transparent about their inner workings empowers translators to make informed decisions, minimise errors and build better partnerships with clients. Trustworthy tools are the foundation of responsible and future-ready translation.

What Makes a Smart AI Workflow?
The integration of machine translation (MT) into daily workflows is now the norm, but not all AI use is created equal. A "smart" workflow isn’t just about speed—it’s about structure, context, and quality. Translators who combine large context inputs with thoughtful post-editing often produce results that outperform both raw AI and fully manual translation in both time and accuracy. Recent…

Why Does Large Context Matter?
In AI-powered translation, accuracy is not only about understanding individual sentences—it’s about grasping the broader context. Large context AI translation processes paragraphs, sections, or even full documents, allowing for a better interpretation of meaning, tone and references. Without this ability, machine translation (MT) often produces fragmented or misleading results. Scientific studies and case analyses in 2025 show that incorporating wider…
