Industry: Government

When Irish became an official language of the European Union, the government department responsible for the Gaeltacht was tasked with ensuring that all official documents were available in both Irish and English in Ireland. Co-decisions, regulations, parliamentary and other information had to be available in both languages. Given the limited number of English-Irish translators in the market, the department was keen to explore the possibilities of using MT with post-editing.聽

The department turned to our team of MT scientists and engineers with the complex task of developing a commercial system for Irish MT.
