Customer Profile
Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) is the science and technology arm of the Canadian Department of National Defence (DND). DRDC provides DND, the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), and other government departments with knowledge and technological advantage to defend and protect Canada's interests at home and abroad.
The Challenge
DRDC researchers frequently create surveys in English that need accurate translation into French, including specialized Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) acronyms. Sending these surveys to external translation services was time-consuming, expensive, and posed potential security risks due to the sensitive nature of the data.
The Solution: Nextria's CastleGuard AI with Evia Add-on
DRDC implemented an on-premise generative AI translation platform using CastleGuard with the Evia translation add-on. This platform leveraged a customized translation model built specifically for Canadian French, ensuring accurate translations of CAF acronyms and preserving the original survey formatting.
