Government Translation Solutions
Translate Quickly, Accurately and Securely

Federal Government


The ability to translate quickly, accurately and securely is a primary, mission-critical capability for agencies involved with national security. Intelligence agencies are searching for better approaches to translate information faster and with greater accuracy. Machine translation can help, but the problem that proves a constant hindrance to MT is the inability to recognize colloquialisms and idioms of what they mean in context.  Lingotek's machine translation learns from past translation and gets smarter after each translation.

Any government agency that touches foreign sectors is quite familiar with the herculean effort required to accurately translate massive amounts of information to and from other languages. The intelligence community is already putting Lingotek to work with its easy-to-use platform to manage translation of all types of information.

Leverage Past Translations

What translators lack is a way to retain the linguistic assets developed by previous translations and thus increase productivity. Manual, page-by-page translation by individuals is not efficient and doesn't allow the option to reuse past translations because past translations have not been saved and aligned in a central repository.

Lingotek has a team of engineers leveraging Natural Language Processing (NLP) to improve Translation Memory (TM), which dramatically reduces the time it takes to complete translations. This ability to reuse work that has been done previously adds efficiencies to intelligence gathering and analysis, providing a springboard for cross-agency cooperation.

Lingotek is changing the game for federal intelligence agencies by combining machine translation and TMs with human expertise in a way that exploits the natural capacities of each. A document is fed through a machine translation program, and a professional translator then provides the final polish. This combination results in two benefits:  first, the translation process is streamlined like never before and second, the machine translation actually gets smarter and learns from the changes made by the human, resulting in better machine translations the next time through.

Government Translation Solution - Collaboration At Every Point

Web-based technologies from Lingotek can reduce not only translation times but also how long it takes for a project to be approved. Because documents can be shared over a secure intranet, reviewers can begin editing a section the moment it is completed.  Reviewers can also begin before the entire document is completed, drastically reducing the time it takes to complete the review process.

Ensuring Security

Lingotek has worked with agencies and departments with the highest levels of security. Our Government Translation Solutions can be easily housed on a secure server with rights management. This helps ensure that only those with appropriate authorization will have access to sensitive information.

Lingotek is also available on Amazon's AWS Gov Cloud. Learn More about Lingotek and Amazon GovCloud
