Problem Statement: 

Finland’s bilingual status and increasing demand for translation services is a key priority to leverage the latest AI technologies to develop a robust machine translation service that can support the multilingual needs of the Finnish government and its ministries.

Results: 

• Improved translator productivity and shortened translation processes. 
• Ability to process roughly 30 to 40 times more words daily (approximately 100,000 words) than a human translator. 
• AURA facilitates seamless multilingual communication by enabling email translation, translating entire websites into the target language, and even transforming a single webpage into a multilingual one.
• AURA efficiently handles large volumes of data, resulting in significant time and cost savings. 
• Employees of public institutions can swiftly translate various documents, including PDFs and other formats, using a secure cloud-based translation platform.

AI Solution Overview:

Tilde developed the AURA machine translation solution for the Office of the Finnish Prime Minister, offering rapid, fluent, and secure translations across Finnish-Swedish, Swedish-Finnish, Finnish-English, and English-Finnish language pairs. Recognizing that Finnish is a morphologically complex and challenging language for machine learning, Tilde’s team of researchers and engineers created custom machine translation engines. These engines are powered by advanced deep learning algorithms and feature dynamic terminology integration to address the unique terminology and linguistic needs of the Finnish language.

AURA translates approximately 100,000 words each day. In comparison, a human translator typically handles around 2,500 to 3,000 words per day. This means AURA can process roughly 30 to 40 times more words daily than a human translator.

Tilde’s Machine Translation solution ensures full data security and confidentiality for all translation activities.
