Yaraku Translation Ver.6.1 adds AI Checker catching 80–90% of mistranslations

Yaraku Translation is a CAT tool (computer-assisted translation software that helps translators manage the translation workflow), and Ver.6.1 targets two ends of that workflow: getting the translation right from the start and checking it afterward. The new Style Guide lets users pick items such as who the document is for and what tone to use, so the first draft is generated to fit the purpose; the AI can also ask a few questions and build the style guide automatically from the answers.

On the checking side, the AI Checker reviews finished translations and automatically corrects number errors, omissions, and terminology or tone mismatches. The internal evaluation on 20 Japanese-to-English test items reported detection of 80–90% of mistranslations and about 41% less revision work.

Beyond these two additions, the update extends the smart suggest feature—selecting part of a translation brings up paraphrase candidates—to all languages and to phrases and whole sentences, not just single words. PowerPoint translation is also made less prone to breaking the original formatting, with translation time cut to roughly one-eighth to one-tenth of the previous level.
