RWS, a global AI solutions company, has been awarded a US patent for its Translation Decision Assistant, an innovative AI-powered system designed to revolutionize how organizations manage large-scale multilingual content and translation workflows. The patented technology enables faster, smarter decision-making by automatically analyzing translation projects and recommending the optimal combination of human linguists, machine translation engines, large language models, existing resources, and workflows. The system evaluates a range of critical factors—including content complexity, sensitivity, value, risk, deadlines, and security requirements—to deliver data-driven recommendations that ensure the right translation approach for each piece of content. By integrating historical performance data, contextual insights, and real-time risk assessments, the assistant predicts outcomes, clusters similar content, and instantly routes tasks to the most suitable linguistic resources. A key feature of the technology is its ability to identify and flag sensitive or confidential information, enforcing strict access controls to ensure only authorized translators can view and work on specific assets. This enhances security and compliance, particularly important for enterprises operating across regulated industries and geographies. The patent establishes a foundation for autonomous, agent-based systems capable of planning, deciding, and executing translation tasks with minimal human intervention. At the same time, it maintains a strong human-in-the-loop framework, allowing experts to review and refine outcomes. Feedback from human reviewers is continuously fed back into the system, enabling ongoing learning and improvement. “This patent reflects our deep commitment to delivering optimized machine outcomes through intentional, human-guided AI,” said Matthew Hardy, Senior Vice President of Linguistic AI at RWS. “Organizations today demand speed and scale, but they also need trust, control, and consistency. The Translation Decision Assistant delivers all three—empowering teams to make smarter decisions with confidence.” The technology will serve as the backbone for the next generation of content orchestration platforms, helping enterprises achieve consistent quality at scale while strategically allocating human expertise and resources where they deliver the highest impact.
