Fully 80-90% of NetApp's localized content is being translated through Language Weaver – with virtually no post-editing.

NetApp is an IT provider of data, application and storage solutions to businesses worldwide. The company's machine translation (MT) journey began before the advent of neural machine translation (NMT), when one of its regions requested more local-language content – but didn’t have the budget for translation. When NMT burst onto the scene some five years later, NetApp was well prepared to take advantage of this step change in MT quality.
RWS has been NetApp's MT partner through its whole journey. After NetApp migrated to the Language Weaver cloud-based NMT solution, it was really able to accelerate its MT-first vision, with stunning results.
“We regard a partner like RWS as an extension of our team. We depend on each other – it’s a high-value relationship.”
