Lingsoft

Lingsoft has been a part of the Europe Forum since 1986 and is now providing accessibility services to the Forum's organisers and content producers. Multilingualism and multiculturalism are key values in the EU, and this is reflected in the Treaties. Linguistic equality is also a prerequisite for the EU's operations: when information is equally acc... essible to all EU citizens, it will be easier for citizens to approach decision-makers and institutions, which contributes to the principles of democracy, inclusion, and transparency. The accessibility of digital services has also been highlighted as a key social objective both in Finland and across the EU. Accessibility legislation aims to guarantee equal opportunity for all to participate in the activities of the digital society, in order to promote inclusion and battle exclusion. Lingsoft's language management solutions and language services help in achieving these goals. Lingsoft has provided translation services in Finnish and Swedish to the bodies of the European Union for nearly 20 years. In addition to the main agreements with the European Commission and the European Parliament, Lingsoft has several framework agreements with the Translation Centre for the Bodies of the European Union. Furthermore, Lingsoft has been responsible for the writing of summaries on EU legislation as well as translating them to 23 languages and maintaining the collection of summaries since 2017. The service also includes monitoring the development of EU legislation and the decisions of the European Court of Justice.Read More
