Machine - Foreign Language Translation System

Abstract

The Machine Foreign Language Translation System (MFLTS), formerly Sequoyah, develops, fields, and sustains a basic automated foreign speech and text translation capability for Army tactical systems to augment and compliment limited human linguistic resources. These integrated automated translation capabilities will be applicable across three different system configurations; a hand-held/wearable portable device, a laptop/mobile device, and in a networked/web-enabled system. The software modules will translate English from a prioritized list of languages in a prioritized collection of domains (e.g. medical, intelligence, base security). MFLTS will be interoperable with Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) or Government Off-The-Shelf (GOTS) automation equipment to include the Distributed Common Ground System-Army (DCGS-A), Nett Warrior (NW), and Counterintelligence Human Intelligence Automated Reporting and Collection System (CHARCS). FY15 Base RDTE dollars in the amount of $4.393 million supports Test and Evaluation during the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) Phase providing deployable automated translation software.
