Language technology

Language technology refers to the collection of digital tools, systems and artificial intelligence (AI) applications designed to process, translate and understand human language. It enables organizations to create, manage and deliver multilingual content efficiently and at scale.

Description

Language technology underpins modern localization and translation workflows. It includes machine translation (MT), translation memory (TM), speech recognition, AI transcription and terminology management – as well as platforms that integrate these functions into a seamless workflow.

By combining automation with linguistic intelligence, language technology helps businesses manage global communication faster and more consistently. It reduces manual effort, improves quality and allows linguists to focus on the creative and cultural aspects of language. RWS integrates language technology across its entire Transform technology stack, which includes Trados, Language Weaver and TrainAI. Together, these solutions combine human expertise with intelligent automation – enhancing translation quality, speed and scalability for clients worldwide.
