Case Study: Migros accelerates multilingual product translations with Acolad machine translation

Migros cuts translation turnaround time and saves costs within months with Acolad

Acolad helped Migros, Switzerland's largest retail company, overcome the challenge of translating a high volume of product information quickly and cost-effectively without sacrificing quality. Their existing process required translating one million words annually from German into French and Italian, demanding a solution that would optimize both turnaround times and costs.

The solution implemented by Acolad involved integrating machine translation into Migros' workflow, which was followed by a meticulous post-editing process by expert linguists. This approach, piloted using a specific post-edit distance measurement, ensured quality remained stable. As a result, Acolad's solution delivered considerable cost savings and faster time-to-market for Migros within the first few months of implementation.
