How We Translate It
Our goal is transparent, useful study translations. We combine original-language witnesses with advanced AI research while exposing provenance, recorded review state, and the need for continued human correction.
Workflow
Back to early church documents1Original-Language First
For each document, we start from original-language witnesses in our dataset (Greek, Latin, and related traditions where available). We segment and normalize that source text so each section can be studied and translated with clear traceability.
2Adaptive AI Research + Translation Pipeline
Each section is translated through a research-aware AI pipeline designed for fidelity and clarity. The research step is intentionally adaptive and may vary by document.
Depending on the text, the pipeline may cross-reference established translations, historical context, technical terminology, and document-specific features before producing the final rendering.
3Provenance and Review Status
Each translation package identifies its source witnesses, AI contributors, current status, and recorded review completion. An approved pipeline status is not a claim of independent scholarly peer review. Human review and provenance records are expanded as qualified reviewers contribute.
4Study Translation, Open to Correction
These translations support study, comparison, and discovery. For load-bearing historical or theological claims, consult the original text, critical editions, and established translations, and send corrections when the evidence warrants them.
