RWS Language Weaver AI-Powered Translation Engine
The concept behind this idea is to significantly decrease the costs of translations while significantly improving the turnaround time of translations. A proven Large Language Model engine, used already by the Translation Bureau, would be used to use internal Machine Learning capabilities to learn the lexicon of DFO. The initiative could be considered for on-prem or in-cloud solutions. The data and information would be geo-fenced to within Canada. The option to procure the solution (in either format) is available on a Government of Canada standing offer through an S
