SYSTRAN Introduces Translating Software for Connected Devices to Allow Users to Get Real-Time Translation



By Madhubanti Rudra, TMCnet Contributor


The connected mobile devices have made the lifestyle easier. With SYSTRAN bringing their language translation technologies to iPhone (News - Alert), iPod touch and iPad Devices, foreign travel has become easier too. SYSTRAN’s machine translation technology, which facilitates communication in 52 language combinations, has been famously used by the Internet portals, multinational corporations and government agencies. Now SYSTRAN is going to apply the same technology to iPhone, iPod touch and iPad to provide the customers with high quality translations in real-time.


Through a recent press release, the world famous language translation service provider announced that SYSTRAN Mobile Translator English-French for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad devices are currently available as downloads. The iPhone, iPod touch and iPad users need to directly download the application to their devices and the application renders the capability of translating emails, Web pages and texts anytime, anywhere.

According to SYSTRAN, its Mobile Translator is one step ahead than the other translation services, which must rely on the Internet connection to provide translation services. But the SYSTRAN translation application is independent, installed directly on the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad devices and doesn’t require Internet connectivity so users are able to instantly translate full sentences, emails, web pages and all texts between English and French.

All it requires is a single click to perform reverse translations (back and forth). Additional features for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad users include the ability to save and view previous translations, align source and translated texts for easy review, and detect and correct typos in the source language prior to translating to prevent mistranslations.

“Today, people are traveling more frequently and taking all of their mobile devices with them. SYSTRAN recognized this trend and developed the application to make language translation as easy, seamless and affordable as possible for the busy consumer, traveler and professional,” Dimitris Sabatakakis, CEO of SYSTRAN, commented.

Headquartered in Paris, France with a North American office located in San Diego, California, USA, SYSTRAN has four decades of expertise and research and development. No wonder, SYSTRAN’s machine translation software is used by leading global corporations, portals including Apple (News - Alert), AltaVista and Yahoo!, and public agencies like the US Intelligence Community and the European Commission.

The company informed that plans to release additional European languages, such as Spanish, German, Dutch, Portuguese and Italian, for SYSTRAN Mobile Translator are underway.

SYSTRAN Mobile Translator for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad is currently available as a download for $3.99.
