Scalable to Billions of Words per Day

Language Studio is designed for scale. Language Studio Secure Cloud and Language Studio Enterprise Translation Server fit low to mid-range translate volumes for most enterprises. For the largest deployments, Language Studio Data Center Platform can translate billions of words per day.

Intranet/Extranet Translation Portal

Language Studio Enterprise Translation Server and Data Center Platform offer a configurable intranet/extranet portal where the entire organization, without user-limits, can translate documents and messages securely in the privacy of your own network.

Customize your translation page with your organization’s logo and color schemes to fit in with your other internal websites and tools.

Translation Confidence Scoring and Quality Estimates

Every sentence has a calculated confidence score that estimates the quality of the translated output. This can be leveraged at sentence, paragraph, or document levels to guide workflows or for quality and effort analytics.

Multiple Domains & Genres in a Single MT Engine

Language Studio has a unique feature for customized engines that allows the translation genre, domain, and writing style to be specified at the time of translation (i.e. marketing, technical manuals). The resulting translation to be stylized to match. A full range of genres, domains, and styles can be built into a single machine translation engine.

Real-Time and Batch Translation Modes

Real-time translation is best suited for customer support, chat, and chatbots. Batch-mode translation is used to translate documents and large data volumes.

Runtime Glossary and Domain Switching

Apply glossaries to translations and seamlessly switch between different writing styles (sub-domains) to ensure that the machine produces a translation output that needs the least amount of human effort in order to publish.

Adobe PDF and Image Translation

Automatically convert Adobe PDF and Image files into editable Microsoft Office formats and translate them directly to other languages.

Support for Microsoft Office and Many Other Document Formats

Supported document formats include Microsoft Office, Open Office, HTML, Image, Adobe PDF, XML, TTML, SRT, TMX, XLIFF, SDL XLIFF, Plain Text, and many more.

Scriptable Translation Workflow Rules

Control the translation quality using runtime glossaries, do-not-translate term lists, automated pre-translation corrections and post-translation adjustments, and complex rules via embedded JavaScript. Every second step in the comprehensive translation workflow allows user-defined JavaScript to manipulate and refine the process at a granular level.

Off-the-Shelf Industry MT Engines

Pre-built industry engines can be used off-the-shelf to translate immediately with the advantage of contextual domain information to provide higher quality translations. Domain context helps to differentiate between “virus” in a medical context vs. “virus” in the information technology context. Use the same domain data as a foundation to build your own Custom MT Engines on top of.

14 Pre-Built Industry Domains

Industry domains include:

Automotive
Banking and Finance
eDiscovery
Engineering and Manufacturing
General Purpose
Information Technology
Life Sciences
Military, Intelligence and Defence
News and Media
Patents and Legal
Politics and Government
Retail and eCommerce
Subtitles and Dialog
Travel and Hospitality

Industry Domain Data

Each industry domain machine translation engine is trained using 10's or even 100's of millions of high-quality bilingual sentences. This same data is available as a base for you to build your own Custom MT Engines.

Additional context and quality can be achieved by combining Industry Domain Data with your organization's own data or with data created by other Language Studio tools such as Data Synthesis.

Powerful Custom Machine Translation Engines

Custom machine translation engines deliver notably higher translation quality than generic or industry translation engines. Runtime customization features such as that provided by glossaries provide limited control but when more control of writing style and vocabulary is needed a custom machine translation engine built on data that is matched to the purpose that the translations will be used for will deliver the highest quality and require the least amount of human effort in order to publish.

Simply upload your existing translations and click “Train” for a Standard Customization or work with the Omniscien team for a Professional Guided Custom MT Engine where we will synthesize, gather and create data for you.

Standard Custom MT Engines - Fast, Fully Automated MT Engine Training

Custom engine training and improvement cycles are fully automated. A new MT engine can be trained in just a few days. Incremental improvement is achieved by adding post-edited and new data. Incremental training can take just a few hours.

Professional Guided Custom MT Engines

Omniscien experts are on-hand to guide you through the customization process.

Data Synthesis and Manufacturing

Custom machine translation requires high-quality data to learn from. Language Studio provides advanced data synthesis and data manufacturing tools to create millions of high-quality bilingual. Sentences are derived from your data or data of a similar nature to that from which you will translate.

Train MT Engines in Omniscien Secure Cloud or in your Data Center

Control Writing Style

Most MT system focus on the ability to understand MT output. However, Omniscien has long promoted a different approach – to produce an MT output that requires the least amount of editing possible in order to publish. A domain helps, but even in one domain, there are many writing styles (i.e. Automotive Marketing vs. Automotive Engineering Manuals).

Due to the unique Clean Data MT strategy pioneered by Omniscien since 2006, and further advanced with the unique Language Studio Data Synthesis and Data Manufacturing technologies, it is possible to stylize and control writing style.

Metrics, Analytics, and Reports

All custom MT engines have detailed metrics and analytics, comparing Language Studio translation quality to many other third-party machine translation systems such as those Google and Microsoft. Comparisons against historical versions of MT engines are also available so as to clearly see the ongoing incremental improvements as new training data and post-edited machine translation content is fed back into the MT engine.

IBM Watson Specialized AI Engines

Language Studio is fully integrated with IBM Watson, with specialized industry engines optimized to work with chat-bots, support and customer engagement solutions.

Progressive Machine Translation Learning and Improvement

Machine translation systems learn and improve quickly as edits and corrections are applied by professional linguists. Machine translation engines learn your style, vocabulary, and preferences quickly as each project's quality assurance stage is completed.
