LLM translation of railway technical documents
Hyundai Rotem reported at least 80% less translation work time in a Morocco railway pilot
Problem
Specialists manually translated lengthy railway technical documents. Specialized terminology and document editing added time and cost to overseas projects.
Approach
Hyundai Rotem developed a translation program combining an LLM with robotic process automation. It preserved document formatting and tables to reduce subsequent editing. The company piloted it on a Morocco railway project.
Results
Takeaway
The reported savings covered a project pilot. Preserving document layout reduced work beyond translating the text itself.
