Language Weaver Signs German Reseller
6/29/07 – Language Weaver, the Los Angeles-based developer of software for automatic language translation, and Germany’s pi-consult across Solutions have signed a reseller and technology integration agreement. Pi-consult is a certified reseller of language translation solutions company across Systems, which already has a partnership in place with Language Weaver.
Pi-consult will resell Language Weaver’s statistical machine translation technology integrated with across’s Language Server product, which includes a translation memory and terminology system as well as tools for project and workflow management.
Language Weaver says its statistical machine translation software offers an established solution and a departure from traditional complex, linguistics rule-based machine translation by producing fluent, natural sounding translations based on what it calls “statistical likelihoods.” It is currently available for translation of 31 languages.
The software is able to learn automatically from existing translated documents to produce what Language Weaver calls the “highest probability translation output,” potentially saving customers time and money by automating the process of translating new documents, according to Language Weaver.
The company was founded in 2002 and is based on research and development done at the University of Southern California’s Information Sciences Institute. It claims it has more than 50 patents pending on its technology. The company also operates a subsidiary user-generated news web site, called Kontrib, which uses Language Weaver’s technology to automatically translate stories that are originally posted in multiple languages.
