Language Weaver Partners with Armedia
8/28/07 – Language Weaver, the Los Angeles-based developer of software for automated language translation, has signed a strategic marketing and integration agreement with Armedia, an Atlanta-based consulting and integration firm that helps clients automate the creation, capture, organization and presentation of their intellectual assets.
Armedia’s solution will integrate the EMC Documentum software platform with Language Weaver’s statistical machine translation software, enabling automated language translation capabilities for users from within any of Documentum’s web interfaces, according to the companies. Upon request, the translation into English or another supported language is available within minutes and the user is notified via email.
Armedia will also resell Language Weaver’s software, and will provide software support services along with customization and integration services, the companies say.
Language Weaver was founded in 2002 and is based on research and development done at the University of Southern California’s Information Sciences Institute. It 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.
The company 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 37 languages.
Language Weaver has signed several integration and reseller partnerships during the first two quarters of the year, most recently teaming with Germany’s Pi -consult.
