Clario Selects TransPerfect Technology to Reduce Translation Turnaround Times by 30% - Business Wire - Translation

NEW YORK & PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TransPerfect, the world’s largest provider of language and technology solutions for global business, today announced that its GlobalLink Applanga technology has been selected by Clario to streamline translation processes.

Clario is a healthcare technology company that delivers the leading endpoint technology solutions for decentralized (DCT), hybrid, and site-based clinical trials. Clario’s Translation Workbench is used to streamline the localization process, including managing multilingual content for licensed scales and data collecting material, as well as ensuring on-screen accuracy. Managing around 150 studies at a time, with each study averaging 20 languages and eight assessments, Clario needed technology that offered them the automation to speed up the eCOA study kick-off process.

GlobalLink Applanga is a cloud-based translation management system with features developed specifically for web-based applications, including handheld devices and clinical apps, enabling Clario to more effectively address app localization requirements.

By connecting with Applanga via API, the Clario Translation Workbench initiates the localization process and streamlines screenshot review and approval. Screenshot capture is automated for each assessment, pulling text and pushing screenshots with minimal effort.

As a result of implementing Applanga, Clario experienced lessened turnaround times by 30%. These reductions were achieved by decreasing time spent in communication between TransPerfect and Clario, eliminating manual work necessary to generate accurate screenshots and translations on eCOA applications, and minimizing defects and human errors, which reduced the burden on quality assurance staff.

“Our clients need to deploy studies in multiple countries and ensure patients have access to accurate and timely translations of their electronic, clinical outcomes assessments. Without these, pharma and biopharma clients face delays in getting new medicines to patients, and patients could be unable to provide vital information about their health. With Clario's global reach and TransPerfect's technology, we can help increase patient access and speed up overall study set-up times,” said Terry Burke, EVP eCOA.

TransPerfect President and CEO Phil Shawe remarked, “Clario has integrated Applanga in a way that has enabled them to improve quality and efficiency. We are pleased that our technology has helped them reduce risk, cut costs, and succeed in their mission to get treatments to market safely and quickly.”

Remind launches new human translation to increase meaningful engagement with multilingual families - Yahoo Finance - Translation

The new partnership with Alboum Translation Services is the latest enhancement to the Remind platform's translation capabilities, which include automatic two-way translation into families' preferred languages.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Remind, the communication platform that reaches students and families where they are, today announced a partnership with Alboum Translation Services to make high-quality human translation services available as an option for schools and districts using the platform.

The partnership with Alboum, which specializes in translation for K-12 education, represents Remind's most recent investment in enhanced translation to help schools and districts engage meaningfully with multilingual families.

Along with providing automatic two-way translation for over 100 languages so families can communicate seamlessly in their home languages, including via text and smartphone app, the Remind platform allows messages to be edited if schools and districts have translators or native speakers on staff. For organizations without this support, the partnership with Alboum now allows them to augment their resources with human translation well-versed in the educational context.

"With 5 million English learners in US schools, it's crucial to make sure that schools and districts have the tools they need to reach and engage with multilingual families," said Quenton Cook, CEO of Remind. "Remind took a huge step forward last year by introducing automatic translation into families' preferred languages, but we recognize that human translation is especially helpful for languages that don't use Latin script. The partnership between Remind and Alboum demonstrates our continued commitment to providing educators with equitable, meaningful ways to engage with families."

Alboum translation services are available for a discounted Remind partnership rate for schools and districts with Remind Hub. To learn more about Remind Hub for school and district engagement, visit www.remind.com/hub.

About Remind: Remind is a communication platform that reaches students and families where they are. We believe that relationships drive success in education, and we're building a platform that supports learning wherever it happens. Today, the Remind platform is home to one of the largest free services in education, a school communication business that supports millions of students, and an online tutoring solution that provides help outside the classroom.

Meta Demonstrates AI-Powered Speech-to-Speech Translation System - VOA Learning English - Translation

Facebook parent company Meta has built a technology tool designed to directly translate spoken speech from one language to another.

Meta recently released a video that demonstrated how the artificial intelligence (AI)-powered tool can translate between English and the Hokkien language.

In the video, Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg explained that the project required different, unusual development methods. That is because Hokkien is mainly a spoken language. It does not have a widely used written form.

Generally, developers of translation systems train AI models on very large amounts of written text in the target languages. This arms the system with many different language examples and combinations in an effort to produce the most correct results.

In general, AI-powered translation systems have improved greatly in recent years. It is now easier than ever to get translation help online or on devices to make international communication better.

But one problem with such systems is that there are delays linked to the translation process. For example, when the system records spoken speech, the words are first converted into text and then translated by an AI system. Then, the translated words are converted back into speech so they can be heard.

The unusual part of the Meta project is that the development team did not have large amounts of Hokkien language text to feed into the AI system.

Hokkien is a version, or dialect, of Chinese. It is spoken by millions of people in the southeastern Chinese province of Fujian. It is also spoken by many people in Taiwan and some communities in Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines. The language is generally passed down through generations of families.

Meta notes that Hokkien is one of nearly 3,500 living languages that are mainly spoken and do not have a widely used writing system. The company says its AI developers are aiming to create speech-to-speech translation tools that would cover most of the world’s languages.

Earlier this year, Meta announced two new AI projects. One is called No Language Left Behind. Zuckerberg said in a video that effort is designed to create translation systems to cover “hundreds” of world languages.

The other is called the Universal Speech Translator. The goal of that project is to build a system that can produce “speech-to-speech translation across all languages,” the company said in a statement. Meta’s latest system involving Hokkien was developed as part of its Universal Speech Translator project.

“The ability to communicate with anyone in any language — that’s a superpower people have dreamed of forever, and AI is going to deliver that within our lifetimes,” Zuckerberg said.

Meta said it used several different methods to create the new system to translate to and from Hokkien and English. The team trained its AI models on written text examples from another version of Chinese, Mandarin, which is similar to Hokkien.

In addition, Meta developers used an encoding tool designed to compare spoken Hokkien to similar English text. The team also worked closely with Hokkien speakers to make sure the results were correct.

Meta said it aims to use the same methods used for Hokkien to create speech-to-speech translation systems for many more languages in the future.

The company said, however, that its Hokkien translation model “is still a work in progress.” It noted that the system is currently only able to translate one full sentence at a time.

Batesville, IN — Thursday, Oct. 20 was an exciting day for St. Louis School third graders when the Rotary Club of Batesville stopped by with a wonderful gift for each student: their very own dictionary!

These books have inspired St. Louis students to discover new words and have been a great help in learning how to spell difficult words.

The students are excited to find a word they do not understand or do not know how to spell so they can look it up in their personal dictionary.

Each day brings new discoveries on how helpful a dictionary can be.

Many thanks to the Rotary Club of Batesville for giving us this wonderful resource.
