As a legendary motorsports venue, Suzuka Circuit attracts motorsports fans from across Japan and around the world. Its global reputation is well established, and as international visitors have returned following the pandemic, providing information in multiple languages has become increasingly important. Previously, our English and Traditional Chinese websites were managed manually. Now, they are powered by Cistate Translation Proxy, our automated website multilingual solution. In this article, we interview the website manager at Honda Mobilityland Co., Ltd. Suzuka Circuit about the challenges they faced in managing a multilingual website, the process that led them to adopt an automation solution, and their experience after implementation.

Managing websites in multiple languages, such as English and Chinese, is now quite common. However, directly translating the Japanese website can sometimes cause issues on the foreign language pages. In this article, we highlight common issues that can occur on multilingual websites. Whether your company already supports multiple languages or is planning to launch a multilingual site, please use this checklist as a helpful reference for your multilingual website.

At HOTEL VISON and HATAGO VISON, the accommodation facilities within the VISON commercial complex in Mie Prefecture, we provide information in Chinese, Korean, Thai, and Vietnamese on our website to better serve the increasing number of international visitors, especially those from Asia. For these languages, we have implemented the Cistate Translation Proxy for automated management. In this article, we discuss the background leading up to the implementation, as well as our firsthand experience and the results we've seen.

The Cistate Translation Proxy, an automatic website multilingualization solution, has been implemented on the website of the International Society for Trenchless Technology (ISTT). The content of the association’s website is translated from English into Japanese, Spanish, German, and Portuguese, and delivered to engineers in each country.

Cistate Translation Proxy, an automated website multilingualization solution, is being provided free of charge to the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake Support Information Navigator. We support the dissemination of support information in multiple languages.

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

The Kanto Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry has established SISC Kanto (Service Industry Support Consortium in Kanto), a support network across the Greater Kanto Area, to strongly promote initiatives aimed at improving labor productivity and strengthening the competitiveness of local service providers. Cistate Translation Proxy has been registered with SISC Kanto as a solution that supports the management of multilingual content.
