Hideo Yanagi • April 19, 2023

Inagi City, Tokyo (Mayor: Katsuhiro Takahashi) has enhanced its information services for foreign residents by implementing the homepage automatic multilingual solution, 'Cistate Translation Proxy,' provided by Cistate Solutions, Inc. (Head Office: Ebisu, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Hideo Yanagi), on the official city website as of April 1, 2023. This initiative strengthens the city's ability to share information in multiple languages.

Information for foreign language speakers living in the city

In Inagi City, we have been providing information on our website in English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Korean, Spanish, and Portuguese to help residents from abroad feel comfortable and secure living here. Until now, we have offered multilingual support as an option for website creation and management, but it has been challenging to make detailed adjustments and maintain translation quality.

By implementing the 'Cistate Translation Proxy,' we will not only enable real-time multilingual communication through automated translation, but also promote clearer information sharing by utilizing an editor for refining AI-generated translations and a translation database that stores these edits for future updates.

Kazuma Ito, Public Relations Section, Inagi City: "We have been working on automatic multilingual support for our website for some time, but Cistate Solutions was very flexible in accommodating our requests and making adjustments to meet the city's needs. It was a great help." We were considering revamping our website and thought we would only be able to start working on the translated version after that. However, with Cistate Translation Proxy, we can use the translation system we've implemented now even after the website renewal, so we decided to introduce it earlier than planned. Moving forward, we will continue to improve translation accuracy and terminology, aiming to provide clearer information for international visitors browsing the Inagi City website.

Is the 4th Gen of machine translation a step backward?

By Hideo Yanagi • January 5, 2024

If we consider Google Translate (NMT) to be the 3rd generation, then machine translation based on large language models (LLMs) can be called the 4th Gen. One of the key features of the 4th Gen is that, compared to the 3rd Gen, it can easily learn certain rules for translating "terms" and "phrases."

We have renewed our website.

By Hideo Yanagi • December 21, 2023

We have renewed the website of Cistate Solutions Inc. The theme is "Unprecedented Machine Translation" and "the 4th Gen Machine Translation."
