Over 400 Top court’s verdicts translated until Covid-19 stalled AI project

While 469 verdicts have been translated since the launch of the ambitious project in August 2018, it came to a halt during the pandemic and is yet to be revived.

Over 450 verdicts of the Supreme Court are translated into 12 regional languages using a man-made intelligence software, with Hindi topping the list of translations followed by Tamil.

While 469 verdicts are translated since the launch of the ambitious project in August 2018, it came to a halt during the pandemic and is yet to be revived.

"The specialize in vernacular languages is over ever but like many other functions of the Court, Covid impacted the priority given to the project," a Supreme Court official said on the condition of anonymity.

An analysis by The Indian Express showed that 86 per cent of the 469 verdicts were translated before March 2020 before the pandemic began, and also the last verdict to be translated was in October last year.
