The brand name was revived in 2021 following the acquisition of SDL[1] and Iconic Translation Machines Ltd.[2] and the merging of the respective teams and technologies.
The company's name is a reference to one of the pioneers of machine translation — Warren Weaver — who first proposed the idea of using computers to ‘decode’ or ‘decrypt’ language in a memorandum back in 1947.
Language Weaver grew steadily over an 8 year period, with staff numbers totalling 96 across offices in US, Europe, and Japan.
The company had significant business with Government organisations where its name continues to hold strong recognition to this day.
The combined technologies of both companies, based on state-of-the-art Transformer-based Neural Machine Translation, are now sold as "Language Weaver" for cloud-based MT, and "Language Weaver Edge" for on-premise MT.
