Show Notes

Despite Arabic being the 5th most spoken language in the world, when it comes to language technology, the challenges are more similar to low-resourced languages.

Tarjama, as an LSP, was struggling to find a tool to solve their Arabic translation challenges, so they decided to build their own TMS fit for purpose.

Join Rebecca Jonson, Ph.D., as she discusses the TMS purpose-built for Arabic with an Arabic UI and powered by proprietary Arabic AI to boost the productivity of other translation teams.
