What is SYSTRAN?
SYSTRAN is a machine translation platform for text, documents, web pages and speech in 55 languages. The company has worked on machine translation since 1968 and is now part of ChapsVision. You can use it as a SaaS app (Translate PRO), as an enterprise deployment in public cloud, private cloud or on-premise, or through a developer API.
Document translation works with more than 30 file formats, including Office files, PDF, XML and IDML. Add-ons include Model Studio for customizing translation models, Neural Fuzzy Adaptation for reusing translation memories, a browser extension that translates web pages and a Speech Add-on that translates voice. SYSTRAN says it does not store or use customer content, and it lists end-to-end encryption, GDPR compliance and ISO 27001 certification.
