SignAgent, a global leader in cloud-based wayfinding and signage asset management, has announced the launch of an AI-powered translation tool designed to simplify multilingual signage projects. The new feature allows users to add a new language in SignAgent and generate suggested translations across selected message fields, eliminating the need for external translation apps or manual copy-pasting. Each translation is clearly marked as pending review, enabling teams to verify accuracy before final approval.
According to David Jorritsma, President of SignAgent, the tool addresses the time-consuming nature of creating multilingual sign content. "We've integrated AI translation suggestions into SignAgent to streamline the design process while keeping review and approval checks in place," he said. The tool includes several key features: in-app review and approval, where suggested translations are flagged for review with the option to approve individually or in bulk; editable text even after approval to refine terminology or correct mistakes; a confidence score that helps teams quickly identify translations needing extra review; and context-aware suggestions tailored to signage and wayfinding terminology.
This launch is significant for facility owners, design firms, and fabricators who manage complex sign systems across multiple languages and regulatory environments. By integrating AI translation directly into the platform, SignAgent reduces reliance on external tools and minimizes the risk of errors from manual processes. The confidence score feature is particularly valuable for ensuring compliance with local-language requirements, as it flags low-confidence translations for additional scrutiny.
The ability to edit translations after approval also addresses a common pain point in signage projects, where last-minute changes or corrections are often necessary. The tool's context-aware suggestions, which are tailored to signage terminology, further enhance accuracy by avoiding generic translations that may not fit specialized wayfinding contexts.
