5. WHEN TO USE
e-Commerce
E-commerce websites are ideal for MT due to their size and constant flow of new content. Due to its speed, MT also allows you to expand to new markets quickly and efficiently.

6. WHEN TO USE Internal documentation
Companies often have lots of internal documentation that is usually too costly to translate in a traditional way. MT allows you to cut costs and enable your employees to work in their native language.

7. WHEN TO USE User-generated content
User reviews, forum posts or Q&A sessions are an extremely valuable source of information but the usual translation methods are too slow and costly. MT is the ideal solution for user-generated content.
