TRANSLATION & LOCALIZATION

About Project
Technical translation from one language to another with high accuracy is a hard task. Translating to 6 different languages is much harder. In this project the goal was to translate a huge amount of text (around 1.7 million words) to six different language. What made the challenge much harder was a very tight timeline and the translation accuracy required was ~100%. Thankfully AI was to the rescue.
