Automated translation: enriching your analysis with global sources

Every day, analysts, planners and researchers are faced with millions of global news articles, reports, blogs, videos and more. From small local news outlets to major publications, any one of these could contain a crucial piece of information that might entirely shift the output of their report - and consequently an important organisational decision. Here-in lies the challenge. The task at hand not only requires an impossibly large analytical capacity to deal with the quantity of information, but a fundamental ability to process content in a variety of different languages instantly.

Speaking to customers, it’s clear that the cost and time required for translation had previously been prohibitive using their standard working processes. This often led to having to cherry-pick which content to translate, or best guessing which channels for a translator to watch over a limited time period. Worse still, they might end up having to rely solely on English sources. By doing so they sacrificed the opportunity to derive valuable insight or intelligence, to understand wider perspectives and to weigh contradictory evidence.

With the help of Adarga Vantage, users gain a detailed picture of incoming and existing information from around the world. It automatically and instantaneously translates all content as it enters the platform so it can be applied to any report, investigation and task at any time. It eliminates the time and cost burden of translation and frees analysts to focus on unpicking nuance and solving problems.

Using the platform, analysts, researchers and planners benefit from:

Effortless consumption of content in 75+ languages

In-house and open-source information is automatically ingested, translated, processed and stored. Findings are presented in English (alongside English language source findings) for improved workflow efficiency and significant time-saving. You can switch back to the original source at any point.

Enriched analysis

Expand your depth of sources to unlock new perspectives and hidden threat signals or opportunities. Filter by geography, government body, think tanks and untrusted vs trusted sources to compare and contrast different narratives, as well as identify potential disinformation.

Instantly discoverable insights

Vantage is plugged into global sources 24/7 with information continuously extracted and displayed in comprehensible formats. Auto-generated summaries are attached to every document; similar claims are identified and linked; complex network analysis is performed; and an overview on a topic of interest can be created in minutes.

Vantage's translation capability ensures customers can build and maintain a full picture of information that incorporates critical global sources in a cost-effective manner.

As a Ministry of Defence (MOD) customer commented, this provides exceptional value.

“Considering foreign content for analysis has historically been a slow and costly process for us.

Adarga's automatic translation has transformed our working practices, providing us with instant understanding of foreign reports or news alongside our existing information.

This allows us to quickly gain new perspectives in a cost-effective way and has enriched our reporting - reducing the interoperability challenges when engaging with NATO allies.”
