Government of Nunavut Selects MultiCorpora to support communication in four official languages
Gatineau, Québec, Canada, December 14, 2007 Nunavut becomes the final Canadian Territory to implement MultiTrans, following on the heels of the Government of Yukon and the Government of the Northwest Territories, which have been using MultiTrans since September of 2004 and March of 2006 respectively. The Government of Nunavut was in need of a comprehensive language tool in order to manage their extensive multilingual assets - of their four official languages, Inuktitut is an agglutinative language being written with syllabics and Inuinnaqtun is written using the Latin alphabet. “The Government of Nunavut was interested by the capacity of our software to translate between the morphemes of Inuktitut and the letters of English and French, but that is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to MultiTrans,” announced Mr. Pierre Blais, President and CEO of MultiCorpora. “The benefits of our exclusive TextBase TM approach are being noticed and great results lead to a great clientele. We have experienced an impressive uptake by many corporations, LSPs, cities and governments who are looking for ways to unlock the true value of their multilingual assets and eliminate the time wasted through manual alignments and inaccurate translations. We have worked hard to get our product to this level and will continue to maintain our leadership position as the solutions provider with one of the best CAT tools on the market.” “The reasons we chose MultiTrans were simple but numerous,” said Toyin Johnson, Business Analyst and Project Manager of the Nunavut Department of Community and Government Services. “We needed a product that would make translation between our four official languages not only accurate but as efficient as possible, and our initial tests with MultiTrans were just that. Seeing the ease with which the program can translate from an agglutinative language like Inuktitut directly into a language like English is quite impressive. The added context provided by the MultiTrans software removes any lingering doubts a translator may have and the automatic Text Alignment not only takes away the most arduous and time consuming step but also makes the phrase immediately available for the next translation project. We have been extremely impressed with this product right from the beginning.” About MultiCorporaMultiCorpora is a leading provider of multilingual asset management solutions that enable corporations, government organizations and language service providers to cost-effectively translate global information and streamline their multilingual communications.
