Our Story

Dr. Peter Toma, founder of SYSTRAN, was born in Doboz, Hungary, in 1924. Believing world peace could be achieved through communication, Toma used his multilingual and computer programming abilities to make computerized translations.

 

This experiment in computerized translation later became SYSTRAN in 1968. Toma named it SYSTRAN for SYStem of TRANslation. That same year, SYSTRAN brought machine translation technology to the US Air Force, translating Russian documents to English. Thus began our history of innovating machine translation and improving communication worldwide.
