Linguistic Systems Achieves ISO 18587 Certification for the Quality of its Ai Translate by LSI(TM) Machine Translation Post-Editing Process

BOSTON, Nov. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Linguistic Systems, Inc. (LSI) announces that it has achieved ISO 18587 certification for the quality of its Ai Translate by LSI(TM) machine translation post-editing process. The certification applies to the quality of the human post-editing process and output for Ai Translate by LSI(TM) Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) as well as Ai-based Neural Machine Translation (NMT).

The importance of the certification is that clients of Ai Translate by LSI(TM) and Linguistic Systems can feel confident about the quality and clarity of machine-translated content when they opt to enhance it with human post-editing. Linguistic Systems maintains a carefully screened and certified network of 7,500 translators, and the company offers 6 quality levels to fit specific project needs and budgets. Machine translation plus human post-editing (certified by the ISO 18587 standard) is often 30-50% less than full human translation.

AI Translate by LSI(TM) is a unique, secure, translation services solution. The solution has nearly a decade of experience supporting more than 1,000 users and hundreds of millions of translated pages. Clients include major AmLaw 100 and other international law firms, leading eDiscovery service companies, government agencies, and Fortune 500 corporations.

Ai Translate by LSI(TM) includes a proprietary, secure, best-in-class, SaaS application and set of services that enable clients with a high volume of foreign language content to translate it quickly, accurately, and more affordably than using traditional methods. Ai Translate is also available as the Ai Translate Plugin(TM) for Relativity -- serving clients of all supported versions of Relativity and RelativityOne.

        process;
