Yaraku Inc. Participates in the 9th Automated Translation Symposium

Yaraku Inc., headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, is excited to announce its participation in the upcoming 9th Automated Translation Symposium, set to take place on February 20, 2026. This event, organized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the Global Communication Development Promotion Council, and the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), will be held at the Shinagawa Intercity Hall.

The theme of this year's symposium is "AI-Driven Translation: Bringing Japan to the World." Yaraku aims to support the globalization efforts of businesses and organizations while alleviating the translation burdens faced by local governments in their coexistence with foreign residents. The company plans to demonstrate how its intuitive translation environment can be easily utilized by anyone.

Features of Yaraku Translation

Yaraku Translation is not just an automated translation tool; it is a comprehensive Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tool that enhances human translator efficiency and quality. It supports post-editing of AI-generated translations, fostering collaboration between skilled professionals and AI to ensure that translations are not only accurate but resonate well with the target audience. The tool is designed with user-friendly features that do not require complicated manuals, allowing translators to operate intuitively. This collaborative approach enables the creation of effective translations that machines alone cannot achieve.

Adoption in Local Governments

Yaraku Translation has been well-received in various municipalities and government offices, where its high-security standards and user-friendly interface have been recognized. The tool is increasingly being implemented to address the growing need for translation services, particularly in the context of multicultural coexistence. It has proven to be an essential resource for providing information to foreign residents, translating official documents, and ultimately relieving some of the administrative burdens placed on governmental staff.

Experience Yaraku Translation at the Symposium

Attendees at the symposium will have the opportunity to experience Yaraku Translation first-hand at the exhibition booth. Participants will be able to upload documents and immediately witness the translation speed, as well as engage with the platform to adjust and learn from AI translations on the spot. We encourage everyone to come and explore the ease of use that has earned Yaraku Translation the reputation of being an intuitive CAT tool.
