Language Weaver, Inc., a software company developing statistical machine translation software (SMTS), has entered into a beta agreement to develop domain-specific SMTS translation modules for P.H. Brink International. Under terms of the agreement, Language Weaver is initially developing an English-to-French machine translation system trained for key industry vertical domains. The companies have agreed to work closely to integrate the new software into P.H. Brink’s existing automated workflow system, Otto. By learning automatically from existing translated documents, Language Weaver’s SMTS correlates words and word groupings from language to language using statistical algorithms to produce the highest probability output. P.H. Brink expects to use Language Weaver’s SMTS for translation of documents into local languages for technical manuals, product support information, and website content. www.phbrink.com, www.languageweaver.com
