The objective of this requirement is to drive greater efficiencies through the TfW group Welsh Language compliance through streamlining business process, building a reusable translation memory, providing traceability on requests, implementing translation automation and review.
The solution will enable translation efficiencies using Machine translation technologies, and the ability to leverage previously translated content using translation history/machine learning or similar.
The solution will reduce translation volume over time through being able to detect content changes, identify previously translated content, and apply learned translations to identical/similar content before seeking translation on new/unseen content.
The solution will reduce turnaround times on translation through integration to our Drupal website CMS platform allowing for content created in our CMS to be automatically sent for translation from within our CMS, and subsequently for translated content to be pushed back to our CMS once translation is complete.
The solution will enable timely translation outside of office hours using machine translation to ensure we are able to translate content in a timely manner 24 x 7 x 365.
