The company says the new automated translation language pairs include Arabic/Spanish, Arabic/French, French/Spanish, Danish/English and Greek/English.  Language Weaver says the new pairs continue its commitment to provide additional low density and direct translation pairs where the typical “pivot language” of English is removed from the equation.

Language Weaver says its statistical machine translation software, based on research and development done at the University of Southern California’s Information Sciences Institute, 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 claims it has more than 50 patents pending on its technology.

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, founded in 2002, 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.

Language Weaver is backed by Palisades Ventures, the Tech Coast Angels and the Athenaeum Fund.
