Language Weaver Inc, a software company developing statistical machine translation software for the automation of human language translation, has announced general availability of a significant application upgrade to its software, version 3.0.
The noteworthy architecture changes in this version focus on material improvements to speed, accuracy, ease-of-use, and translation quality; most notably, translation throughput speed is improved 5 to 10 times over previous versions.
Language Weaver has upgraded all language pairs to be compatible with the new application software. The company’s bidirectional language pairs include Arabic/English, Chinese/English, French/English, and Spanish/English, and unidirectional languages include Somali to English and Hindi to English.
The server version operates on Windows 2003 server and Windows 2000 Advance Server (SP3+). The standalone version operates on Windows XP Professional and Windows 2000.
Language Weaver's SMTS offers a significant departure from traditional rule-based machine translation systems by producing fluent, natural sounding translations. By learning automatically from existing translated documents, this advanced technology reviews previously unseen text and translates it from language to language using statistical algorithms to produce the highest probability output.
Language Weaver's SMTS technology can save users money and time through automation of the translation process, with the ability to translate in less than one minute the quantity of material that could take a human translator more than a day to produce, the company has said. |
