From January 2020, Meiji University has assigned about 1 clerical staff to Fujitsu Limited in the process of creating various agreements with overseas universities, materials and notices for foreign students, contracts for foreign faculty members, etc. Introduced the high-precision translation service "FUJITSU AI Zinrai Translation Service".

 Meiji University is one of the leading universities in Japan's globalization, and in recent years it has been adopted as Type B (Globalization Leading Type) of the Super Global University Creation Support Project established by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in 2014. It is rapidly becoming a reality.There are about 350 overseas partner schools, and the number of foreign students accepted is about 2,000. Translation is required for staff work such as concluding various agreements, accepting foreign students, and hiring foreign teachers. Is increasing year by year.

 However, the translation work at Meiji University was handled individually by the staff of each department, and there were problems with the increased workload and translation quality.Therefore, Meiji University is working to create a working environment that can respond to globalization, such as introducing this service in office work where globalization is advancing, improving productivity and speed in translation work, and reducing the workload of staff. I'm out.
