Machine Translation & Text Analytics: Friends or Foes?

Government agencies face similar challenges when it comes to understanding--and gaining intelligence from-- foreign language content. They need to process, manage and gain insight from large volumes of content locked away in different formats, often across multiple languages. And they need to do all of this as quickly as possible. It's no mean feat when you consider the mindboggling amounts of content being generated: 90% of the world's content was created over the past two years alone. Machine translation and text analytics have always been regarded as the two main ways for organizations and agencies to tackle this challenge.
