Background
The Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (IHREC) requests quotations from interested parties for an automatic web based translation service. We are undertaking a significant redevelopment of our website www.ihrec.ie over the coming months. To comply with our obligations under the Official Languages Act 2003, we wish to put in place an API to enable automatic translation of our content into Irish, initially, with the capability to expand to other languages in the future, if required, delivering fast and accurate results, and integrating smoothly with our existing platforms, while upholding the highest translation standards.
Please see Request for Quotation document attached below.
