The Udaan project (https://www.udaanproject.org/), initiated 7 years ago, enables translation from English to Hindi and all Indian languages of textbooks and learning materials in Engineering and all main streams of Higher learning. The team has developed a very robust bilingual OCR technology and several post-editing tools by which they now have access to digital bilingual dictionaries in the original format. They are, therefore, able to use the appropriate scientific and technical terms available in Hindi, instead of transliterating the English terms. By deploying their AI-based Translation Engine, the team is now able to translate a technical book in 1/6th the time it would take for a team consisting of domain and linguistic experts working manually. Do watch this video https://bit.ly/udaan-demo (also at https://www.udaanproject.org/) to know more. In due course, as the AI and ML engine learns with every page and every book being edited in each domain, the Udaan project expects to achieve a much shorter turn-around time.
