An overview of KERN machine services
An overview of KERN machine translation services KERN offers a range of services as part of its MT4client™ machine translation solution. Let us advise you on the best option for integrating machine translation software into your translation processes.
Using the MT solution purely mechanically
MT4client™ offers the ability to quickly generate high-quality translations. This process can be customised by using additional language resources (such as terminology databases). Since the system is based on neural networks, it can be trained with a wealth of implicit rules to precisely map individual requirements. We regularly optimise the MT system and incorporate the latest developments in the field of MT. In addition, our AI experts adapt the MT system for specific industries and text types (known as specialised MT).
Integration of human translators into the process
The quality and effectiveness of machine-translated texts can be further optimized through post-editing. A human translator with expertise in the relevant subject area is responsible for this. Machine translation is seamlessly integrated into the translators’ work environment, allowing them to focus on what matters most: optimizing their texts in the foreign language.
Note: When using MT4client™, we guarantee the secure handling of your data, which is not accessible to third parties at any time. The machine translation solution operates in KERN Global Language Services’ own data center in Germany.
Large language models for machine translation
The use of large language models (LLMs) is revolutionizing machine translation and raising it to a new level of quality. These sophisticated AI models, trained on billions of text data points, enable texts to be translated not only accurately in terms of content, but also with precise transfer of context and linguistic nuances from the source language into the target language.
LLMs are distinguished by their ability to grasp idiomatic expressions, complex sentence structures, and cultural nuances in a way that was previously reserved exclusively for human translators. This results in more natural-sounding translations that preserve the style and tone of the original. They remain flexible and adaptable, allowing industry-specific requirements such as technical terminology or specific language styles to be taken into account.
Integration of LLM technology into MT4client™
KERN Global Language Services leverages the strengths of LLMs to further optimize the performance of its MT4client™ machine translation software. By combining neural networks and LLM-based algorithms, our solution offers exceptional translation accuracy. At the same time, our experts enable targeted adaptation of the models so that industry-specific content can be processed with maximum precision and consistency.
In addition, as a customer, you have the option of integrating your own LLMs into the MT4client™ solution. This offers maximum flexibility and control, especially for companies with specific data sets or individual requirements. Our technical specialists will assist you with integration and configuration so that your own models can be efficiently incorporated into the translation process.
Safety and efficiency thanks to KERN technology
The integration of your large language models takes place in a protected environment that guarantees the highest data protection and security standards. All translations are processed exclusively in our German data centers. This means that our customers benefit not only from the advanced capabilities of LLMs, but also from the confidentiality and security they expect from KERN Global Language Services.
Would you like to learn more about how LLMs can improve your translation processes? Our experts will be happy to advise you.

Frequently asked questions about machine translation
Is machine translation the right solution?
In the era of Google Translate, everyone is familiar with machine translation. But when does it truly make sense to machine translation?
Fully automatic translation of texts is already practiced in a wide variety of areas – for example in social networking, to provide support texts on the web, or to accelerate internal corporate communication: for short-lived texts such as emails, where a timely response is important, the use of machine translation can be sufficient. In such cases, conveying the meaning is often sufficient; grammatical and orthographic correctness play only a minor role.
Catalogs, product descriptions, and instruction manuals, on the other hand, are generally aimed at end users and must therefore explain the functionality of the product clearly and withstand scrutiny from professional audiences. Such texts therefore require a high-quality translation that is correct in terms of both language and content. This is ensured through machine translation and intensive post-editing (MTPE).
For which texts is MT particularly suitable?
MT has many applications in the marketing sector. Customers particularly benefit from our MT solution when working with short-lived texts such as social media posts, email correspondence, information gathering, or chatbot content. It delivers fast and cost-effective results.
What challenges need to be addressed?
Machine translation systems ideally need to be trained with previous translations and existing specialized terminology to ensure quality. This requires service providers who are experienced in the relevant field and systematically trained. The machine-translated output cannot match a human translation in terms of creativity and originality. These elements are introduced into the translation during post-editing. Therefore, the modifications carried out during post-editing depend on the intended use of the translation. Thanks to machine translation and post-editing, time and costs can be saved compared to traditional translation processes.
Is there a quality assurance system in place?
We aim to provide our customers with transparency and a reliable quality standard in the area of PEMT (post-editing of machine translation) and are therefore certified according to DIN ISO 18587 for machine translation and post-editing. This standard defines requirements for machine-generated translations and post-editing. Important factors addressed include the individual work steps, as well as the tasks, competencies, and qualifications of the post-editor.
When does it make sense to use customer-specific MT (custom MT)?
If you already have substantial translation data sets and a high demand for translations within a specific text type or domain, specialized MT solutions are recommended. They are also advantageous for narrowly defined text types and areas of expertise.
What are the advantages of custom MT?
- The highest quality standard of machine translation
- Can be individually fine-tuned
- Can be enhanced with data from KERN if required
- Customers can benefit from this over many years
- Constant optimization of the engines
- Coverage of various industries
- Comprehensive analysis of text characteristics by experts and optimization of the engine based on these characteristics
Is it possible to use third-party solutions?
KERN Global Language Services not only offers customized machine translation solutions but also takes into account the individual needs and requirements of its customers. Upon request, third-party solutions such as DeepL can be integrated into the translation process.
This enables customers to leverage proven technologies while KERN Global Language Services’ quality control and expertise continue to support the process.
