At the beginning of June representatives of Janus attended the biggest event of the year in the translation and localization industry: the Localization World 2012 conference, in Paris.

The main themes of the conference were:

• Global Business
• Translation Automation
• Localization Core Competencies
• Advanced Localization Management
• Inside Track
• Global Web

Our staff members took part in roundtable events, discussed recent successes with their counterparts from other companies, and talked about the latest trends and developments in the industry.

Janus’s Technical Director, Dmitry Ulanov, gave a brief presentation about his experiences of introducing automated translation within the company, and his impressive achievements thus far. His presentation can be viewed here.

Janus carries out automated translation using the advanced hybrid platform Language Studio. This platform adopts a statistical approach, and the principles of Natural Language Programming, and it thereby ensures high quality in automated translation, with minimal labour costs. The quality with which subsequent material is translated improves rapidly, once the system has been fine-tuned using the final edited version of the automated translation completed earlier.
