Imagine receiving a survey response in Hindi, now how can you analyze feedback like this without manually going through each and every one of them?

Well, with Multilingual Text Analytics, you can!

AI-Enabled Multilingual Text analysis is the systematic examination of open-ended responses to extract meaningful insights. Now, surely such a sophisticated process does come with a few hiccups.

One of the primary challenges of a common text and sentiment analysis is managing the linguistic diversity that encompasses varying grammatical structures, vocabularies, idiomatic expressions, and cultural nuances. These differences make it difficult to create standardized analytical models that work effectively across all languages. Additionally, ensuring the accuracy of translations and maintaining the context and sentiment of responses are significant hurdles.

Text Analytics not only automates the process of analyzing and tagging thousands of feedback into different categories but also helps you run the analysis in your NATIVE language. 

So, let’s uncover how you can use a multilingual text analysis tool to analyze feedback in any local language. But first, let’s talk a bit about this challenge of text analysis.

Challenge With Text Analytics Software

Here are some challenges faced during multilingual text analysis.

1. Accurate Language Detection

The software must accurately detect the language of the responses.

For example, a survey respondent in a bilingual country like Germany might mix English and German within the same response. Accurate language detection is critical to ensure the text is processed correctly using the appropriate linguistic models.

In such cases, accurate language detection is crucial for processing the text correctly and using the appropriate linguistic models for each language.

2. Lost in Translation

The translation between local languages and English can introduce errors, especially with idiomatic phrases and culturally specific references.

For example, translating a nuanced piece of feedback from Mandarin to English might lose specific cultural references or subtleties in sentiment.

3. Contextual Recognition and Categorization of Languages

Culturally-specific names, places, and other entities have many variations and can be context-dependent.

For example, the same name can appear in different forms in Spanish and Portuguese due to differences in script and pronunciation. The software must accurately recognize and categorize these entities despite such variations, which requires extensive, language-specific training data.

In summary, launching surveys and gathering feedback in local languages requires text analytics to handle local language detection and sentiment analysis, across diverse linguistic and cultural contexts. Addressing these challenges requires advanced NLP techniques, robust multilingual datasets, and continuous improvements in machine learning models to provide accurate and meaningful insights.

So, let’s now resolve these issues with robust text analytics.
