 December 10, 2024

 

Every translator's journey begins with curiosity—the drive to learn, grow, and connect. Translators are explorers of meaning, bridging gaps between cultures and ideas. They turn words into understanding and create connections where none existed before. Driven by a love of language and a passion for discovery, they constantly seek new ways to expand their skills and make an impact on the world.

## [Bad Data, Good Insights](https://go.proz.com/blog/bad-data-good-insights)

 July 10, 2024

*Translators and Executives Need to Talk.*

Last week, Bureau Works [published some serious data](https://my.decklinks.com/bureau-works/shared/z91wMhE9K8en?_se=ZGFubnlAd3JpdGV5b3UuY28%3D) about our context-sensitive translation technology. It was a rigorous study that evaluated over 4 million translated segments. Our engineering team works closely with our data scientists to produce good data that will be helpful in advancing our industry. They are scientists through and through, dissecting the data we collect for deep and nuanced insights.

I, on the other hand, am more of a data backhoe. I roll into a mine of potential information, scoop out a rough chunk, and see what I find inside. I do this by asking questions on LinkedIn. They are opinion questions, but opinions and emotions are their own type of data. They are data on where we are as a community, and they tell us what we need to develop in the relational part of the localization business.

## [MTPE Is Dead](https://go.proz.com/blog/mtpe-is-dead)

 July 3, 2024

#### *And Bureau Works Killed It.*

MTPE died today. Or yesterday maybe, I don't know. I got a report from the data team: "MTPE deceased. Funeral tomorrow. Faithfully yours." That doesn't mean anything. Maybe it was yesterday.

I had good fun writing that intro out, and kudos to anyone who catches my very forced reference, but today I am sitting down to write about something less literary and existentialist than the opening would have you believe (the reference is to Camus’s “The Stranger”).

I came to write about cold, hard data, and the pretty amazing things we have found at Bureau Works. My intro may have been thematically irrelevant, but the claim is exactly what I will be explaining here- MTPE is dead and Bureau Works killed it.

Innovating tech is easy. Innovating society is hard. That’s what is going on in our industry right now.

## [AI Hurts the Ego](https://go.proz.com/blog/ai-hurts-the-ego)

 June 5, 2024

### But it may help us self-actualize

I constantly hear “Large Language Models just produce statistically average language”, as if that were:

A) Inherently bad

B) Different from what humans do

Then, I also hear “Language is infinite. AI can’t keep up with all of the possibilities”.
