When Context Changes, Meaning Changes
Software interfaces are filled with short words and phrases that appear simple until they are removed from the screen. A string such as Record can describe a patient record, an instruction to record an observation, or an action that begins recording. The source word is identical. The correct translation may not be.
Sesen helps reduce ambiguity by connecting linguists with contextual information wherever available, turning software translation from isolated string conversion into product-aware localization.
