Weidner Communications Inc. was founded by Stephen Weidner in 1977 and began software work at Eyring Research Institute in Provo, Utah. Weidner developed the world's first "cost-effective computerized translation software," as reported in The Wall Street Journal, Tuesday, Oct. 24, 1978 and The Deseret News, Tuesday, Oct. 31 1978. The software instantaneously did about 85% of the processes that a human translator performs and was named "Natural Language Processing" by the Computer Industry.
Multi-Lingual Word Processing System The Weidner "Multi-Lingual Word Processing System" is based on a copyrighted text book by Stephen's brother Bruce C. Wydner. The text book is titled, "The fastest way to learn Spanish is to see it." This text book shows how the language technology of China's Nipponese Writing System became the 85% basis of computer human language technology and language translation systems today. What Bruce Wydner was able to do through 1978 was to put the Oriental Writing System into computers to allow them to process the words of Occidental Languages by those "Ancient Oriental Natural Language Processing" Rules. In reaction to that innovation, the recognized highest experts on the subject of Translation in the World, the Experts on Translation for the Commission of the European Union, said that this (to them) "new translation system" of Bruce Wydner "renewed" their "hope" for Machine Translation that would lead them to "Better Translation for Better Communication" (1983). Weidner Engine The Weidner Engine is the basis of www.freetranslation.com as reported by Michael Quinlan, President of Transparent Languages, Inc. who created the translation website, “Our Enterprise Translation Server (based on the original Weidner engine) is considered the fastest of the world-class translation technologies, and also is currently the most advanced implementation of automatic translation for large Enterprises.” Acquired In 1984 Weidner Communications, Inc. was acquired by Bravis International, one of Japan’s largest translation companies. Later the Japanese sold Wydner’s technology to Intergraph Corporation of Alabama who later sold it to Transparent Language, Inc. of New Hampshire. The Weidner Engine was recently (2001) bought by SDL International of England. | ||||||||
