COTOHA Translator for internal multilingual communication
Kyocera's AI translation service processed about 70,000 A4-equivalent pages a month
Problem
Kyocera's international operations created growing translation demand. Employees sometimes relied on partial understanding because translation support was unavailable.
Approach
Kyocera selected COTOHA Translator after comparing security and cost. A trial involved IT contacts across business units before deployment to domestic and overseas locations. Employees could translate Office documents and PDFs directly.
Results
Takeaway
Usage logs established substantial translation volume. Kyocera said financial savings were difficult to estimate because the service also enabled translations employees previously went without.
