Back in 2023, at the globally renowned WMT machine translation competition—which featured leading teams such as Huawei, Samsung, JD, and iFLYTEK—LanguageX stood out and claimed first place in the English-Chinese track.

A Prestigious Global Benchmark in Machine Translation

As the most influential event in the field, WMT has been held annually since 2006, attracting heavyweight participants such as Meta AI, Google DeepMind, Microsoft, Alibaba, Tencent, and ByteDance. Each year, the competition pushes the boundaries of machine translation through intensive evaluations across multiple language pairs.In 2022, the competition introduced major changes. Instead of relying solely on news corpora, WMT expanded its test sets to include more general-domain content, such as e-commerce and medical data—raising the bar for translation quality across broader, real-world contexts.That year also marked the adoption of COMET (Cross-lingual Optimization Metric for Evaluation of Translations) as the official automatic evaluation metric. COMET is a neural-based model designed to approximate human judgment in assessing translation quality. By leveraging both source texts and reference translations, it offers high semantic granularity and improved accuracy in multilingual evaluation.

Fierce Competition and a Standout Performance

The general-domain English-Chinese track was especially competitive, attracting top-tier teams including Huawei, Samsung, JD Explore Academy, iFLYTEK, Systran, Niutrans, ProMT, and Lan-bridge. A total of 800 system submissions were received.LanguageX ranked first in all four English-Chinese submissions, ultimately winning the track with a commanding performance.
