News and info about Machine Translation at Microsoft
My team is responsible for the MT engine that creates the foreign language translations of knowledge base (KB) articles on http://support.microsoft.com. Each KB article has at the bottom a feeedback field allowing the reader to rate the article. I pay close attention to this feedback to determine the usefulness of the MT engine for a task like understanding a technical document.
Feel free to let me know right here of any significant issues or recurring problems you see with the KB translation.
