This system is a fine-tuned machine translation tool developed by Statistics Canada to produce initial translations of census documents using census-specific bilingual terminology. It handles protected and pre-release materials, and all outputs are reviewed and corrected by human language experts before use. The system does not process personal information, and its use of AI is disclosed to users.
