Aside from the practical benefits of this, a recent study from Washington University in St. Louis highlights the benefits this capability brings to global trade. The researchers crawled through data from auction site eBay and found that even small improvements in the quality of translation available to consumers correlated with a 10.9 percent boost to trade between countries on the platform.
