• Semantic translations

  The semantic context of the message is understood, including homonyms.  For example, the correct meaning of "hot" is translated for the syntactically identical sentences "That sun is hot", "That jazz is hot", and "That uranium is hot".

• Unrestricted vocabulary

  Commercial semantic translations limit the vocabulary to a restricted domain, as is done in Latent Semantic Indexing systems.  For example, when an air traffic control system sees the word "bank", it means the orientation of the aircraft, not anything to do with finance.  No such restrictions are in tRAEnslate .

• Language Independence

  The same semantic code is used for translation no matter what human language the text is written in.  To write a translation system with tRAEnslate, all you need are the dictionary and syntax information for the language.

• Parallel data dictionaries

  Our Language Independent Semantic Taxonomy (LIST) structure sets one-to-one relationships between words/phrases in different languages.  This gives exact translations the first time and every time.

• No Language Pair Restrictions

  tRAEnslate analyzes individual languages, not language pairs. You can translate a source language into as many target languages as you want with only the target language words and sentence structure.
