SDL Launches SLATE Self-service, On-demand Translation
Solution
SLATE combines SDL's Linguistic AI (TM), advanced neural machine
translation and expert translation services to deliver on-demand,
secure content translation for business
SDL (LSE: SDL), the intelligent language and content company,
announces the launch of SLATE - Smart Language Translation for the
Enterprise - its new self-service platform for secure, on-demand
translation. Based on a subscription model, SLATE enables
professionals in any part of a business to directly access secure,
world-class neural machine translation, with most content processed
instantly, along with optional expert human review.
Through the intuitive, self-service online platform, SLATE
provides all parts of a business with access to SDL's world-class
and secure neural machine translation, covering dozens of languages
including some of the world's most difficult, like Chinese, Korean
and Russian. When required, users can easily upgrade the service
within the same application to human review or revision, which is
delivered by SDL's trusted network of over 17,000 expert
translators. Operating under a monthly subscription model based on
typical document volumes means predictable spend for customers and
transparent service levels and delivery times, with most content
being processed instantly. SLATE works with many different formats,
from Microsoft Word documents and PDFs, to Adobe InDesign files and
subtitles for videos.
"SLATE was fast and brilliant - it was instant, professional,
and the output looked exactly like the original," said Carolann
Conway, Executive Assistant to Chief Legal & Regulatory
Officer, Ryanair DAC. "No one that received the document had
negative feedback on the quality of content. I appreciate that I
can get my document professionally translated right away with no
hidden costs, no wait time for a project quote, and no extra work
for me. SLATE is foolproof."
Built for business users across marketing, financial, legal and
other regulated and security-conscious industries, SLATE's key
features include:
-- One-click access to document translation and support for dozens of languages
-- Always on, always available
-- Automatically translates whilst preserving document formats
-- Ideal for regulated industries as it is secure by design and
does not allow for content sharing or re-use between users or by
the system
"We are extremely excited to launch this new on - demand service
designed to support professionals in departments and enterprises,
who have pressing needs for high quality translation and want it
delivered in a simple, automated way," s aid Christophe Djaouani,
EVP Regulated Industries at SDL. "SLATE has simplified the process,
improved efficiency and thereby reduced the time-to-market for our
customers. Built for business, it has tight security that conforms
to strict industry standards, making it highly-suited for users in
regulated industries. We look forward to rolling this service out
and supporting a segment of the market that has long been
neglected."
Other benefits of SLATE's monthly subscription model are that it
significantly reduces the up-front financial commitment for
customers and eliminates the typical wait time for project quotes
and invoices. SLATE offers three levels of service starting with
'Automatic,' backed by SDL Machine Translation, which is sufficient
for the majority of tasks, to the human optimized stages of
'Review,' focused on accuracy, and 'Revision,' that combines
correcting for accuracy along with stylistic improvements,
resulting in professionally edited output.
