    Description

    This is a Request for Information (RFI) only, and not a bid solicitation. Participation in this process is encouraged but is not mandatory.

    The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to obtain information from respondents regarding their capability to provide a translation solution based on cutting edge technologies. ECCC is seeking information that demonstrates the availability of viable options for an automated translation system. For clarity, “automated” refers to a process where translation jobs are submitted and completed WITHOUT human intervention, relying solely on machine-to-machine communication and the function of the tool. It is understood that considerable human effort may be required for the development, maintenance, and ongoing improvement of the tool.

    See attached RFI for additional details.
