Would you like to test our new Multilingual Content Insights capability?

Language Weaver Edge 8.5.6 is introducing the support of new Linguistic AI capabilities, to go beyond Machine Translation and provide additional capabilities to improve productivity and efficiency.

The first component introduced and available in Language Weaver Edge 8.5.6 is Multilingual Content Insights. Multilingual Content Insights provides a dynamic, automatic summary of any document or a set of documents, in any language, right within the Language Weaver Edge environment. Typically, to get to this level of comprehension, you would need to read the full document – whether two pages or 200 and extract the relevant sections. Now this can be done instantly, making work easier, faster and leading to better decision making.

Upload a document in Edge, translate it, and click on the Content Insights button to access its summary. Use the available slider to adjust the size of the summary and display only the most relevant information needed. This option is available from the Translate UI and from the Translation Queue, where multiple documents can be selected before displaying Content Insights.

Note that this feature is already supported in the Language Weaver portal (SaaS) - you can learn more about it in this article.

Multilingual Content Insights is going to be a paid option, but it is available in Edge as a beta preview and can be evaluated for free. As it is a paid option, a new license will be required to enable the summarizer service. Please contact your account manager or your technical account manager for more information.
