Genius Loci is not just a tourism tool — our platform should also be seen as a cultural tool for integrating and serving the local population.
Secrets accessible to all
It is important that each Genius can write content in their own language, but also that all visitors can understand it. That is why we have developed a highly effective automatic translation tool, accessible at any time via the menu.
Our translation tool is powered by our own system, built on open-source artificial intelligence that is entirely sovereign. No data is sent to US servers or third-party services: everything stays under our control, in full compliance with the GDPR.
Your content is thus fully protected, with no risk of leakage — an essential point for local authorities and public-sector organisations. This system also allows us to translate into all major world languages, as well as rarer regional languages such as Breton, Welsh or Corsican — with a very high level of quality.
For each place, up to 15 languages can be translated. And the list of these 15 languages is defined place by place: you, for example as a tourist office, choose which languages are integrated. You thus tailor your offer exactly to your target audience, according to your local context and where your visitors actually come from.
Better still: if a foreign visitor arrives with a browser set to another language, the translation will automatically be offered in their language, then added to the languages available for that place. No one is ever left out, even if their language was not planned from the start. This is an essential feature that guarantees the accessibility of your content to as many people as possible.
All these translations are cached, so they display extremely quickly. And as the cherry on the cake, you can edit them language by language, to retain full control over the quality and tone of your communication.
These innovations make Genius Loci the world’s most advanced translation tool today in tourism and local heritage.
