My Conversations with ChatGPT
Machine Translation (MT) and translations generated by AI have brought about a paradigm shift in the translation industry. The output of MT will continue to improve, especially when associated with clients’ translation memories and human editing. Language Service Providers are adapting and are including MT in their processes, when MT is applicable. While linguists will continue to be essential in the process, their role will shift from that of translators to validators of content generated by MT. At Excel Translations, we wanted to know what AI thinks about all of this and decided to have an open conversation on the matter with ChatGPT. I will regularly publish a question and ChatGPT’s response, uncensored.
QUESTION 170:
How can Us-based Language Service Providers (LSPs) compete with Language Service Providers (LSPs) in the EU?
Chat GPT’s Response:
To compete with EU-based language service providers, US-based LSPs can leverage several strategic approaches:
Firstly, invest in cutting-edge technology such as AI and machine translation to offer advanced, efficient solutions. Focus on niche specializations in high-demand sectors like legal, medical, or technical translation to differentiate your services. Develop competitive pricing models with flexible options like volume discounts or tiered pricing to attract cost-conscious clients.
Emphasize your commitment to high-quality standards through certifications and robust quality assurance processes. Build strong client relationships by providing exceptional customer service and personalized support. Stay informed about EU regulations and cultural nuances to effectively adapt your services to the European market.
Consider establishing a local presence in Europe through branch offices or partnerships to build closer relationships and better serve EU clients. Innovate by expanding into new service areas like AR/VR localization or multilingual SEO, and highlight the unique advantages of working with a US-based LSP, such as advanced technology or a fresh perspective.
Optimize your operational efficiency to manage costs and improve turnaround times, and enhance your digital marketing efforts through targeted SEO, SEM, and online advertising aimed at EU clients. Finally, engage in thought leadership by publishing relevant content, attending European industry conferences, and participating in local business networks.
By focusing on these strategies, US-based LSPs can effectively position themselves against EU competitors and capture opportunities in the European market.
