Facilitating Global Team Meetings Between Language-Based Subgroups: When and How Can Machine Translation Help?. (arXiv:2209.02906v1 [cs.CL])

Global teams frequently consist of language-based subgroups who put together
complementary information to achieve common goals. Previous research outlines a
two-step work communication flow in these teams. There are team meetings using
a required common language (i.e., English); in preparation for those meetings,
people have subgroup conversations in their native languages. Work
communication at team meetings is often less effective than in subgroup
conversations. In the current study, we investigate the idea of leveraging
machine translation (MT) to facilitate global …
