Toshiba America Business Solutions Launches Real-Time Translation Innovation
Lake Forest-headquartered Toshiba America Business Solutions aims to simplify multilingual communication with instant translations through the release of its new Elevate Sky Translate. This technology leverages AI to translate documents quickly and accurately into more than 190 languages when utilizing Toshiba e-BRIDGE multifunction printers (MFPs).
On-demand translations present an ideal and, in many instances, necessary solution for school districts, healthcare, government and retail organizations. Toshiba's innovative new software allows these organizations and others to print, email or save a translated document directly from a Toshiba MFP to better communicate with their diverse audiences.
Elevate Sky Translate works by auto-detecting the original language of a scanned document while translating it into the desired output language directly at the MFP. Instantaneously, the newly translated documents are then available to print, email or save to a USB device.
Beyond traditional word-for-word translations, this AI-powered engine brings contextual understanding to the document to create more accurate results for greater communication success.
Elevate Sky Translate helps inform, engage and alert parents and students from diverse backgrounds by translating enrollment forms, notices and reports into their home language. Doing so further enables school districts to be compliant in this area.
The new tech can also enhance healthcare communications by translating medical forms, prescription labels and discharge instructions into a language patients best understand. This is immensely important for increasing understanding while improving inpatient and outpatient care.
For retailers, the solution can create a more inclusive shopping experience while fostering deeper consumer loyalty by translating promotions, receipts and product descriptions into a shopper's desired language on the spot.
Elevate Sky Translate also improves public service through community engagement and outreach by translating forms, communications and resources to constituents in real time, ensuring everyone has equal access to essential information and services.
'Elevate Sky Translate provides a simple yet powerful solution to the challenge of communicating with a diverse audience,' said Toshiba America Business Solutions vice president of marketing and strategic business development Bill Melo. 'A single scan translates and prints documents in multiple languages, retaining the original formatting and truly helping schools and other public institutions communicate to their constituents in the language that they can best understand.'

Europe's biggest holiday home business faces debt squeeze
Europe's biggest holiday home business has been warned its finances are on an 'unsustainable' path as debt pressures mount. S&P Global said holiday giant Awaze needed to show signs that it was increasing profits or risk a credit-rating downgrade. It comes after the company's debt to earnings ratio soared to more than 13 last year, compared with 6.4 in 2023. S&P Global attributed the rise to soaring inflation, more competition and weaker-than-expected bookings for Awaze. Awaze specialises in villas in areas such as Tuscany, the Algarve and Mallorca, as well as cottages and self-catering holiday homes around the UK. It owns brands such as and Hoseasons, which was established in 1940s post-war Britain and has more than 29,000 locations in the UK. Analysts at S&P Global said UK-headquartered Awaze – which manages more than 90,000 different holiday resorts and homes across 36 countries – must start cutting costs and boost occupancy across its sites. The agency threatened to cut its credit rating if Awaze 'failed to demonstrate recovery in operating performance and credit metrics', demanding that the company show a 'trend of improving the quality of its earnings'. However, the analysts said Awaze's liquidity position currently remained 'adequate', citing its fully undrawn credit facility and sound cash balance. The warning shot comes amid signs of fierce competition in the European holiday market. Last year, hotel giants Marriott and Hyatt unveiled expansion drives across Europe to seize on the rise in demand for luxury all-inclusive trips. Companies have been increasingly seeking to cater to the growing number of Americans visiting the Continent, with official US figures showing more than 7.7 million people travelled from America to Europe between January and May this year, up 6pc on the same period a year earlier. This month, Awaze said its holiday resorts and rentals enjoyed 'record bookings over Easter on a like-for-like basis with occupancy levels up 3pc in the first half of this year'. The company said this booking momentum continued until the end of July, with expectations that this summer would be a record for the business. It said 51pc of revenue came from repeat bookings. A spokesman said: 'Our financial position is strong with more than £100m in unrestricted cash and a fully undrawn revolving credit facility. Furthermore, we have no debt maturities until May 2028. It is business as usual at our popular sites, and we look forward to welcoming customers today and in future.' In 2022, its US private equity owner reportedly hired bankers for a sale of the business. However, a deal never materialised. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.
