USA

Client
Veritone – a leading provider of AI-driven solutions for government, law enforcement, and security agencies.

Challenge
Law enforcement agencies often face critical challenges when monitoring large crowds, analyzing intercepted communications, or conducting interrogations. Conversations may include slang, coded language, or criminal jargon that standard translation engines fail to interpret accurately.
In addition, strict security and compliance requirements mean that any AI solution must meet the highest standards of cybersecurity, ensuring that sensitive data is never exposed. For government and defense-related use, deployment within Iron Bank – the U.S. Department of Defense’s centralized and secure software repository – is a mandatory requirement.
Iron Bank, part of the DoD Platform One initiative, is where containerized applications are hardened, continuously scanned, and accredited for use in defense environments. By being accepted into Iron Bank, software solutions meet the DoD’s toughest cybersecurity standards and become trusted components within mission-critical systems.
Veritone required a specialized, secure, and adaptable translation engine capable of:
-
Operating within Iron Bank’s certified environment
-
Handling criminal slang and cartel language accurately
-
Supporting real-time monitoring and interrogation analysis
-
Ensuring data privacy and compliance with defense-grade standards

We like Pangeanic's work ethos and professionalism. They actively listen to their clients - and that helps them be the best every day to provide tailored language solutions. From my point of view, that's one of their greatest qualities
Pangeanic makes the translation process easy... And they provide a friendly, fast translation service. Creating a database for all our translations was particularly useful so we could recycle translations and re-use content in other occasions and/or similar jobs.
The quality is excellent as usual. The source has been changed many times during the translation. Pangeanic was quick to respond to the changes and it was helpful.
