Government organizations have used human translators and translation software for many years to convert information from many languages into one so the relevant information can be identified, analyzed and acted upon as necessary. However, finding the “needle in a haystack” has gotten more complicated with the increase in digital content.
Challenges in Government
The volume of that content is growing rapidly and is even more problematic because it is created in dozens of languages and formats. As a result, the amount of data that must be translated in near-real time has grown exponentially, making it difficult to translate even a fraction of the content without introducing additional automation. Skilled human translators are highly sought after but there simply are not enough translators to meet the growing demand. Security requirements further shrink the pool of qualified translators.
Objectives for Government
When it comes to translation, government organizations need solutions that enable mission critical decision making. This typically includes rapid access to all relevant information, and the ability to search and quantify unstructured information from a variety of languages.
To do this, these organizations must focus on supporting language efforts where it is difficult to scale human translator resources.
By adding automation to the translation process, our government translation solutions enable government organizations to quickly translate documents, blogs, websites, and more. Only relevant documents need to be sent to humans for a more accurate translation and analysis while the keywords generated from automated translation make search and query possible.
SDL Language Technologies delivers a government translation solution that cost effectively allows government organizations to translate everything in near real-time. All information, regardless of the original language, can then be analyzed and escalated as needed.
SDL Language Technologies enables governments to prioritize and maximize translation resources. By providing the first round of translation of all data across dozens of languages, human translators are empowered to work on more important translations – those that require human interpretation and analysis.
These products also learn to translate by example so the software is easily trained to produce fluent, meaningful translations in subject areas and domains important to particular organizations.
Finally, SDL Language Technologies Government Translation Solutions are a force multiplier. They are easy to integrate into existing applications, allowing organizations to cost-effectively add value to solutions they already have. The products have proven integrations in several government focused applications.
