Alibaba's international arm is turning heads with its latest AI-powered translation tool, Marco MT, which it boldly claims outperforms Google, DeepL, and ChatGPT.
This ambitious assertion is backed by the translation benchmark framework Flores, which has given Alibaba's new model a thumbs up.
Marco MT is the latest update to a tool initially launched a year ago, already boasting 500,000 merchant users. This nifty tool allows sellers to create product pages in the target market's language, making cross-border commerce a breeze. What sets this version apart is its reliance on large language models, enabling it to grasp cultural and industry-specific nuances like a pro.
Kaifu Zhang, Alibaba's vice president, explains that the goal is to enhance merchants' bottom lines. After all, happy merchants mean a thriving platform. With 15 languages under its belt, including English, French, and Japanese, Marco MT is ready to cater to diverse markets, especially in Europe and the Americas.

Since its debut, the tool has been a hit, facilitating over 100 million product listings. Its contextual translation capabilities ensure consumers get the right message, avoiding awkward literal translations. Imagine a slipper description that makes sense in every language—now that's a win!
Alibaba's international ventures, including AliExpress and Lazada, are already seeing significant growth, with sales soaring by 32% to $4.03 billion in the last quarter. This contrasts with a slight dip in Alibaba's domestic sales, highlighting the potential of its global strategy.
As Alibaba continues to expand its international footprint, Marco MT could be the secret sauce that propels its success even further. With the Double 11 shopping festival around the corner, this tool promises to deliver an authentic and seamless shopping experience worldwide.
