高強度インターバルトレーニングを経営に応用
高強度インターバルトレーニングを経営に応用できないか？と考えています。ダラダラ働く代わりに全案件特急案件のつもりで翻訳したら週休3日を実現できるのではないかと考えています。２０１９年、全案件に機械翻訳活用達成後は、週休３日実現プロジェクトを開始しようと思っています。なお高強度インターバルトレーニングについては、このサイトをご覧下さい。

ＳＤＬロードショー（大阪）に参加しました。
事務所のすぐお近くで開催されました。タワーＢと書いてあったので、恐らく地下のコングレコンベンションセンターだろうと想像しました。地下に行ったら搬入作業が進行中でした。どうやらここではなさそうだと感じました（オフィスマネージャーと二人）。
やはり会場は、タワーＢの１０階のコンファレンスセンターでした・・・。
＊前回は、確か地下だったと記憶しています。
機械翻訳に関するお話が非常に興味深かったです。是非社内で検討してみようと思います。

If we only want to increase productivity, multi-lingual translation might work?
If we only want to increase productivity, we could consider multi-lingual translation. Translators who translate languages other than English will often translate multiple languages. For example, our German to Japanese translator can also translate from English. Our Japanese to German translator can, in addition to Japanese, translate from English, French, and German. If one translator can translate multiple languages, productivity will increase dramatically.
Translators who can only translate English could increase their productivity if they can add more languages to translate.
In 2018, I want to focus more on multi-lingual translation than this year and increase productivity.
This will be my last blog this year. Thank you everyone. See you in 2018!
Bye!

MT + PE will most likely be a normal business in 2019
We made an announcement that we will be implementing machine translation for all projects in 2019 (EN to JA/JA to EN). I think the timing of the announcement was just right. This is because machine translation will most likely be so ordinary that no one will pay attention to us saying that we implement machine translation in all projects.
Recently, inquiries about PE is rapidly increasing (the amount of words asked is massive! Something like 1 million words per month). Post editor training must be done as soon as possible.
To questions such as "what do you do if PE becomes mainstream?", one translator answered by saying "then I will look for another job". This is probably better considering the price. Let's see if we can survive this battle of the machine translation industry.

Amazon also starting NMT!
Finally, Amazon is starting neural machine translation service as well. Unfortunately, Japanese is not included yet.

Judgement Day
There is a topic that has been talked about for a while. That is, a topic concerning humans losing their jobs by the emergence of MT. This is truly a Judgement day. Emergence of MT will cause the human translators to die off. We thought (around) December 31, 2017 would be the Judgement Day...
Today is that day. What happened to the translation industry? Did it collapse?
It did not. Translation companies survived. Translators are doing well. Nothing actually happened.
Manufacturers of car navigation system were having extremely hard time. Sales in car navigation system deteriorated. This is because smartphones replaced the car navigation system. On top of that, the accuracy of the smartphone car navigation system is extremely high. Did all manufacturers for car navigation system go bankrupt? No, they are here to stay. They are not busy having succeeded in the development of the next product that replaces car navigation. The product is an in-vehicle camera. Perhaps you are more familiar with the term drive recorder. The manufacturers for car navigation system won't be destroyed so easily.
The same goes for translation companies. We are not destroyed just by MT. The Judgement day is not here. However, it may not have come and may be just delayed. I will be making my next move so that the day will never come.
Of course, I already have cards in my hand.
