    Language Weaver Empowers Translation Partners with ‘Training Plus’

    One of the key benefits of Language Weaver’s statistically based translation software over alternative solutions is that it can be “trained” to specialize on a specific category or field of expertise.  By leveraging artificial intelligence, Language Weaver’s solutions learn to translate new data by examining data that’s already been translated in a particular subject category.  If a company wants the Language Weaver to translate travel information, for example, our software pours through previously translated travel content and adjusts and refines its statistical algorithms accordingly.

    Until now, Language Weaver has  implemented this key training aspect of our solution in-house. But today, we’re pleased to announce a new product capability called “Training Plus” that empowers our partners to carry out this important task independently, with the same high level of quality that we’ve always offered.

    In the following podcast, Language Weaver co-founder and Director of Engineering William Wong talks about the importance of Training Plus for our partners and their customers.
