Processing
We are currently in the process of adding In July 2020, we added English translations from Google Translate to all of our entire full text backfile records (as described in our data coverage table) with the exception of China, which is receiving received improved English translations from a separate source. This change affects affected a large number of records and is likely to may cause query results to differ over time. It has also created a larger than usual volume of load-ids to be processed by on-site instances. The good news is that this reload will improve has greatly improved the accuracy of results as we are replacing have replaced earlier translations with much higher-quality text. It has also increased the speed with which translations are available. For all countries except China, translations are now provided one day after the availability of the original text. For Chinese records, English translations are available one day after the publication date.The new translations are already present in all of our frontfile processing, and are being added to the backfile one year at a time, working backward from the present. Full text records are being processed first and we will eventually be filling in gaps for records that were unable to be translated previously. For specific progress, check the Translation Reload Status or contact support@ificlaims.com.
