Key Findings:

• High Recognition of Translation Quality: The survey indicates that 80.3% of respondents across various countries can identify differences between human and machine translations. Notably, 24.8% "definitely" and 55.4% "most likely" can tell the difference, while only 3.4% responded that they could "absolutely not" distinguish between the two.

• Regional Variations: Consumers in the Netherlands (88%), Australia (85%), and Japan (84%) were most likely to recognize machine-generated translations. In the Netherlands, 42% of respondents "definitely" could tell the difference between the types of translation.

Implications for Businesses:

As businesses increasingly expand their global reach, the demand for accurate and culturally appropriate translations has grown. While automated translation tools offer speed and cost-effectiveness, they often lack the nuance and cultural understanding that human translators provide. This survey highlights the necessity for businesses to invest in professional translation services to maintain consumer trust and engagement.

Consumer Trust in AI-Generated Content:

The survey also aligns with broader consumer sentiments regarding AI-generated content. A 2024 global survey found that only 26% of consumers trust brands to use artificial intelligence responsibly.

Additionally, 71% of consumers express concerns about trusting AI-generated content, emphasizing the need for transparency and authenticity in digital communications.
