■ Advantages of Multilingual Translation

1. Information Dissemination
   By conducting multilingual translations, people who speak different languages can access the same information. This enables delivery of information to a wide audience without relying on specific languages.
2. Improvement of User Experience
   As users can access information in their mother tongue, they can use the site more comfortably. This is expected to increase the frequency of site use and the duration of time spent.
3. Enhancement of International Credibility
   Multilingual sites enhance credibility in international business and communication. By supporting various languages, they can strengthen the global image of companies and organizations.

 

◾️ Overview of Functions

1. Automatic Translation: Automatically translates Japanese within the site in real time.
2. Multilingual Support: Supports multiple languages (currently: 10 languages) including English, Chinese, and Korean. The number of languages will be expanded to 63 in future updates.
3. User-Friendly: Language can be easily switched with simple operations, ensuring user comfort.

 

◾️ How to Use the 'Multilingual AI Translation Feature'

① When you select the 'UniWeb' icon, the accessibility menu will be displayed.

② Click the 'Settings' icon displayed at the bottom of the accessibility menu, then select the icon that shows the language at the top.

③ Select your desired language. Information on the site will be automatically translated based on the selected language.

■ Background of the Release

Kiva Inc.　
President Kota Nojiri

With the spread of the internet, access to information has become significantly easier.
However, the language barrier still remains a major challenge.

As of the end of 2023, the number of foreign residents in Japan exceeds 3 million, and the number of people visiting Japan for tourism and business continues to increase. However, many companies and organizations provide their websites only in Japanese, leading to the problem where essential information is only accessible to those who understand a specific language. Additionally, many organizations hesitate to implement such solutions due to the costs and time involved in hiring specialized translation companies.

The multilingual AI translation feature was developed with the aim of eliminating information disparities due to language differences and achieving an 'inclusive website' where anyone can easily access the necessary information.
