Concept of multilingual translation

IEICE will begin a multilingual translation trial of the four IEICE Transactions and ELEX

The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE) will begin a multilingual (16 languages) translation trial of IEICE Transactions Online in April 2024.
The trial will cover the bibliographic information, abstracts, and full text of the four IEICE Transactions and ELEX.
For papers published before March 2024, only bibliographic information and abstracts will be machine translated.
Accordingly, the publication policy on IEICE Transactions Online will be changed as follows.
