The projects in which we have participated represent a significant advance toward a more interconnected and modern public administration. From the creation of a machine translation platform for EU public administrations, such as iADAATPA/MT-Hub, to the implementation of a national translation memory (NECTM), we have worked intensively to improve interoperability and linguistic accessibility. NTEU created the largest translation machine model farm among all official EU languages, and MAPA marked a milestone as the world's first multilingual anonymization software.
In this article, we also summarize our contribution to other projects, having had the honor of contributing to the European Language Equality (ELE) project, an ambitious initiative aimed at strengthening language equality in Europe. In this project, we actively participated in the drafting of a key book for the development of linguistic inclusive policies, which we have available in our office. Among the notable collaborations, Pangeanic provided an in-depth analysis of the situation and needs of endangered languages in the Iberian Peninsula, highlighting the value of linguistic diversity and the importance of its preservation in a multicultural continent. This work reiterates our commitment to building a digital ecosystem that not only facilitates translation but also promotes the cultural and linguistic wealth of Europe.
