Redefining the gathering and dispensing of translation know-how
At Translation Science we are redefining the translation industry by carefully examining the potential of the internet and data processing tools to create, store, accumulate and dispense language translation know-how. From our inception in 2003 in San Francisco near Silicon Valley, we have worked steadily to devise innovative structures that integrate and leverage the new technologies, moving translation into the XXI century.
In August 2003 we began development of what would become our first patent application, a straightforward and elegant way to reduce translation to its common denominators, or nodes, thereby devising a way to efficiently tie these nodes and match them within a digital set of connections. This broad scheme, proposed already in 2003, harmonizes quite well with the direction taken since by the World Wide Web, as it turns out. In 2008 our efforts were rewarded when the United States Patent and Trademark Office awarded us patent 7398198. The broad system and method embodied in this patent can be put to practical use in several ways that will give the patent holder or licensee a true competitive advantage.
The Translation Science founders combine degrees in aerospace engineering and electrical engineering with several decades of first-hand experience in the translation industry. Our motivation to generate more outstanding strategies for the advancement of language translation continues to grow.
