An app with the newly launched OBTranslate is capable of supporting translation of more than 2,000 African languages. Aiming to help people here easily access the world market.
According to information from the manufacturer, currently 63% of the population in Africa living near the Sahara region cannot access the world market because of language barriers.
Mr. Emmanuel Gabriel, founder of OpenBinacle based in Germany. Also the co-founder of OBTranslate is coming out this month. He said the fact that more than 52 languages in Africa have "died early" because there are no native speakers.
OBTranslate can help narrow down the communication gap in the world.This invention was derived from a messaging application that dates from 2017. It allows users around the world to interact with each other through a 26-language African translation tool. However, the initial time of use has not yielded accurate results.
"We are very disappointed in this messaging application and no longer want to continue with such a bad product," Gabriel said. "Therefore, we decided to start building a translation and machine-learning platform and as a result, OBTranslate was created."
According Pangeanic - Global translation company based in Spain. They have a computer-assisted translation tool that converts documents into smaller segments. This results in a faster and more accurate translation.
Segments can be recalled. Therefore translators can ensure that the term and style of writing are consistent, explained Pang Pangeanic on her website. This also saves you when the document you need to translate is somewhat similar to the previously translated document. You only need to pay for different sections that need to be translated.
Gabriel said: “We created OBTranslate with an innovative business model. It ensures that this tool will be maintained to pay for everyone who has the most accurate translation. ”
In the next five years, producers hope to attract thousands or millions of users who can handle translation documents on OBTransTable.
"We are working hard to make sure that when users publish documents in African languages, the system will automatically search to guess the context around the source text."
OpenBinacle has received a US $ 100,000 grant from France's OVH cloud computing company, as well as Amazon and Google and is looking for funding opportunities to refine OBTranslate.
Bukunmi Seweje is the executive director at Compucode Limited, Nigeria. He expressed confidence that OBTranslate will be a powerful support tool. It helps smooth the business for people in Africa.
But to make the application more friendly and accessible. Seweje said that this technology should be integrated into existing communication platforms like WhatsApp.
