The innovation of PROMIS® as highly intuitive integrated compliance management framework is raising the interest in additional countries, and substantial market demands exist already in the target countries for pilot. However, the main barriers to enter these markets are the need for translation and localisation of the broad range of PROMIS® services, and also the lack of semi-intelligent ICT tools to support structuring, filtering and optimizing data and content in a way that SMEs can communicate in their own language and get answers to their needs online ‘at a fingertip’ in the same language.

PROMISLingua will overcome language barriers and extend the existing PROMIS® service to other European markets by enhancing its multilingual dimension and providing the selected languages tools for Machine Translation and multilingual human translation in the target domains of Health and Safety. PROMISLingua brings together 6 leading SMEs, the largest European SME Association and 1 public body to build up a PPP with the aim to contribute to the consolidation of a pan-European Digital Single Market by stimulating cross-lingual communication, collaboration and participation.

Technological Impact

PROMISLingua will have a threefold technological impact. It will

1. Lower the language barriers and contribute to the achievement of the Single Entry Point;
2. stimulate new business opportunities as the language coverage of online content and services expands together with target users and markets; and
3. improve the quality and effectiveness of cross-lingual communication while reducing the design, development and operation costs associated with the underlying ICT platforms
