Athennian's AI Translate makes it easy to understand documents written in different languages by providing on-demand, AI-powered translations directly within Athennian. This feature helps teams work more efficiently with global records by offering quick context and clarity without altering the original document.
Overview
The AI Translation tool provides a high-level understanding of a document's content rather than an exact, formatted replica of the original. While the original document remains unchanged and accessible in its native language, users can generate translations that persist for their personal view. Translations are user-specific, meaning teammates will not see your translations and can generate their own as needed.
Availability: Customers with the AI Core add-on. Contact your CSM if you're interested in this add-on feature.
