Kyoto University of Foreign Studies students registered in the LinguaLink translation and interpretation human resources database helped translate materials into multiple languages for "ICHI-ZA KYOTO," the Kyoto Zone in the Kansai Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan.

The students translated supplementary materials explaining exhibits, whose category changed roughly once per week throughout the Expo, covering hemes such as culture, cuisine, industry, the environment, life and tourism. LinguaLink members harnessed AI technology to automatically generate base translations, then carried out careful post-editing of each draft output by generative-AI machine translation (MT) to ensure that the nuances and cultural context of the original Japanese text were reflected accurately.

Through these efforts, the students came to understand the importance of combining human sensibilities with technological advances. Their experiences helped them to achieve major growth toward their goal of serving as members of the global community.
