Anyone who has needed some quick help in another language knows the drill \u2013 just open up Google Translate. While we know it won\u2019t be perfect, it\u2019s better than nothing and has helped countless people communicate across linguistic and cultural divides. Despite its usefulness, there isn’t widespread adoption of machine translation technology across the museum industry. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a world where\u00a0Siri<\/a>\u00a0can set alarms, give us directions, and look things up, shouldn\u2019t machine translation be better by now? How does machine translation work? Why are museums still using human translation? And most importantly, what happens when machine translation is good enough that museums and other arts enterprises can use it without human oversight?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article explores how machine translation works and how it came to be in its current state, as well as how we evaluate state-of-the-art machine translation technology. Finally, this article examines how improvements in machine translation could disrupt and transform the museum industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does machine translation work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, how does machine translation work? Underpinning machine translation is a field called natural language processing, or NLP for short. This area of study uses tools of computational linguistics combined with modern advances in computer science in order to \u201clearn, understand, and produce human language content<\/a>.\u201d While NLP has progressed greatly since its inception, one foundational technique that is still used in some forms today is called \u201cbag of words<\/a>\u201d, where all the words in a document are added up and each word\u2019s frequency is calculated. This concept is a great illustration of many of the techniques used in NLP \u2013 counting words and calculating their relationship to other words within the same document or within a corpus of documents.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two other concepts to highlight within NLP are part-of-speech tagging and named entity recognition.\u00a0Part-of-speech tagging<\/a>\u00a0is a computational linguistics tool in which descriptors (the tags) are assigned to each word\u2019s role within a sentence. This allows for semantic understanding of the role each word plays, which is critical to grokking the full meaning of a sentence.\u00a0Another important concept in NLP is named entity recognition<\/a>, which is when a word or phrase that contains important information is identified and categorized. We need to be able to differentiate a name or location as distinct from an ordinary noun or pronoun to understand a sentence, and named entity recognition allows for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The techniques described above offer a window into how the field of natural language processing works and are illustrative of concepts integral to machine translation. Machine translation historically used\u00a0statistical learning techniques<\/a>\u00a0similar to those described above. Launched in\u00a0April 2006<\/a>, Google Translate used a corpus of billions of words in both the origin and target languages to help craft computer-generated translations. While it is not the only company offering cutting-edge translation technology, Google has been an industry leader for many years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With improvement in computing hardware as well as machine learning technology, Google was able to improve its translation service. In 2016, it launched a new version of its machine translation service that used\u00a0neural machine translation<\/a>\u00a0instead of statistical models.\u00a0Artificial neural networks<\/a>\u00a0are a type of machine learning algorithm that has quickly become useful in many industries. Using neural machine translation means that the model itself is made up of layers and layers of simple linear regression models. By combining these simple models, it mimics the way a human brain works in sending, translating, and receiving signals (hence why these models are referred to as \u201cneural networks\u201d).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google wasn\u2019t done in 2016; although their current translation model still uses neural machine translation, they\u2019ve made strides in other areas. Previously, they needed copious amounts of data in every language that they wanted to translate, but in using neural network machine learning techniques, their models can now perform better on low-resource languages, meaning they perform well even if they were not trained on very much data for that language. In 2019, Google released a\u00a0massively multilingual, massive neural machine translation (M4)<\/a>\u00a0that was pretrained on over 25 billion sentence pairs and as a result, performed even better on low-resource languages. They have continued to focus on improving this low-resource language ability in order to expand their machine translation offerings, and as such released an updated model in\u00a02020<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do we know machine translation is improving?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, machine translation works by taking natural language processing techniques, training a complex model with many layers of simpler models, and then inputting new text on which the model uses what it has learned. But how do researchers know that machine translation is improving?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0There are a few metrics that exist for machine translation, and Google uses one called\u00a0BLEU<\/a>, which stands for \u201cbilingual evaluation understudy\u201d. The paper establishing the method was published in 2002, but despite its age the metric is still being used to evaluate cutting-edge language models. BLEU calculates a translation closeness score by evaluating each sentence as a unit and comparing them on a weighted average of words, allowing for other word choices that make sense in context. The score is then reported as a number between 0 and 1 with 1 being the highest score possible. Google has continued to evaluate its models using BLEU so that updated models can be easily compared to their predecessors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the progress that has been made, it\u2019s notable to compare machine translation capabilities with natural language processing tools that we use in English every day. As mentioned in the introduction, people take for granted that they can use\u00a0speech-to-text<\/a>\u00a0on their phone, or that they can interface with a\u00a0chatbot<\/a>\u00a0on a website. Notably, a company in Canada called\u00a0Cohere<\/a>\u00a0just\u00a0raised $125 million<\/a>\u00a0to perform similar NLP tasks, including content moderation, conversational artificial intelligence, and search support. Another example of the expansion of English language model tools comes in the form of a startup called\u00a0Forefront<\/a>. Two weeks after the launch of an open-source large language model called\u00a0GPT-NeoX-20b<\/a>, Forefront announced that it was offering fine-tuning services to make the use of GPT-NeoX-20b more accessible. All these markers of progress demonstrate that NLP in English is rapidly advancing and expanding.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why isn’t machine translation good enough?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If AI can write papers and chat with us, why can\u2019t it fluently translate my words into any language without errors? One of the shortcomings of large language models is that they require copious amounts of data to be effective. While there has been considerable effort to train machine translation models, there just isn\u2019t as much training data available in many languages as there is in English. Despite Google\u2019s best efforts to train their translation models to perform well on low-resource languages, they still aren\u2019t nearly as good as the models that use English. And not only are the models not as good, they are also insufficient for professional use even in high-resource languages. As researcher\u00a0Aihua Zhu<\/a>\u00a0states, current machine translation technology fails to meet the needs of use in professional contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the clear advantage that English has over other languages, there are still numerous shortcomings that exist with English large language models. Because many of them were trained on text from the internet, they tend to have biases such as\u00a0stereotypes towards people of minority gender or ethnic identities<\/a>. A recent illustration of this is that YouTube\u2019s automated captioning service was spotted\u00a0using profanity in captions of videos for young children<\/a>. So while language models in English perform well enough to be useful to large swathes of society, they still have limitations. Comparatively, the limitations of multilingual language models are greater and do not allow for as much integration into high-level societal tasks, although they are very useful for many people (in 2016 Google stated that Google Translate has\u00a0500 million users and translates over 1 billion words a day<\/a>).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How are museums translating their material?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Turning back to the museum industry, we consider the current state of translation resources available to them. How are museums currently offering material in multiple languages? Many museums are employing professional translation services. For instance, the Field Museum<\/a> in Chicago uses a company called Multilingual Connections<\/a>, and the Denver Botanical Gardens<\/a>, South Florida Science Center<\/a>, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art<\/a> use a company called Eriksen Translation<\/a>. That is, museums must pay for professional human translators in order to offer material in multiple languages. When the Children\u2019s Discovery Museum of San Jose decided in 2015 to translate materials so that they could engage more with Latino visitors, they decided to exclusively use human translations rather than machine translation because they wanted to ensure that their materials were true to the \u201cspirit of the words<\/a>,\u201d not just that it offered visitors the gist of what was going on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While all of these are museums in the United States, it also seems that countries in Europe use a similar model of hiring professional translators \u2013 two contract bidding announcements by the Museum of the Quai Branly \u2013 Jacques Chirac<\/a> and the Museum of Bastia<\/a> in France demonstrate that human translation is still the industry standard in Europe as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A great illustration of the current state of machine translation as useful but not quite good enough comes in an announcement for a translation sprint. Europeana Pro is an organization funded by the European Union that is dedicated to preserving and promoting cultural heritage. In their 2020 invitation to join sprint to translate foundational documents into more languages, the organizers of the sprint instructed participants to use a number of machine translation tools only \u201cas long as you review the resulting text<\/a>.\u201d This instruction underlines the themes explored by this paper: machine translation is good, but not yet good enough for professional use without human review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How will museums be affected when machine translation achieves parity with human translation?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So machine translation clearly is not yet good enough \u2013 but how could it change once the technology catches up to the need? User experience is naturally a priority for museums, and\u00a0translation is an integral part of that<\/a>. There are many museums in America that could\u00a0better serve their non-English-speaking populations by expanding their offerings<\/a>. And it isn\u2019t just in serving their visitors; museums could also benefit greatly from better machine translation for their collections. A team of researchers from Beijing Jiaotong University\u00a0used machine translation to evaluate ancient Chinese texts and translate them into English<\/a>, demonstrating the promise of machine translation as a way to preserve and expand collection offerings. A research group based out of the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) has a program dedicated to\u00a0using automated translation to analyze and understand cuneiform languages<\/a>\u00a0on a series of tablets from southern Mesopotamia. A widely-used museum database software called\u00a0Axiell<\/a>\u00a0has\u00a0multilingual fields embedded in its data structures<\/a>, and offers an\u00a0automated translation tool<\/a>\u00a0so that curators have some idea of what they\u2019re looking at even if it is in a language they don\u2019t understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another team of researchers commented on translation in museums as a narrative and a means by which to convey identity. They explore how bad translation can be seen as a failure of the museum and argue that the quality of the translation not only\u00a0has an impact on the museum, but also on the message that the museum wants to convey<\/a>. A professor and researcher from the United Kingdom synthesized the benefits of translation for museums into two central themes:\u00a0economic value and social inclusivity<\/a>. However, given that a professional translation service is often required, that is currently not always an option for museums.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While professional translation services are the norm, some museums are starting to explore machine translation as a potential tool. The Computer History Museum conducted an experiment with artificial intelligence during which they used machine translation on a number of their audio and video files. While it is unclear if they have put it into effect so far, they underscored many of the points made in this article by commenting that machine translation promises to make museums and collections \u201cmore accessible to speakers of languages other than English<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of this evidence points to the potential disruption and change that could occur for museums when machine translation becomes a ubiquitous option for professional-level translation. Besides machine translation’s promise of museums’ ability to better serve communities in America, the international museum industry also thrives off the ability to offer people a window into culture and identity that isn\u2019t possible without accurate translations. The significant reduction of costs that would occur if machine translation improved would offer museums the ability to broaden their offerings and expand their visitor experience beyond their current capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
