How much do we know?
A source is a published page or document behind a claim. The label measures what is documented, not whether a system is good or safe. Missing information does not prove that a safeguard is missing.

optional detailFull record and details
The interface and explanatory guides are translated. Record names, record descriptions, quotations, detailed editorial notes, and linked public documents stay in their published language so evidence is not silently changed.
What it does
GCtranslate is a secure (Protected B), enterprise-grade AI translation tool that enables rapid English-French translation of text and documents. It enhances translation efficiency, safeguards linguistic data, and helps meet the Government of Canada's growing demand for timely bilingual content by reducing turnaround times for non-official publication needs. Developed in part by PSPC.
If this affects someone
Faster drafting and sense-making; reduced turnaround time; consistent EN/FR availability for internal use; supports GC-wide bilingual operations.
Input text/files provided by GC users and GC applications via API. Training data is provided by vendor's pre-trained models; no PSPC-provided training corpora at this time.

The score orders work, not people.
Review priority rises for rights-sensitive uses, missing sources, unanswered accountability fields, and old evidence. Strong official documentation lowers it. The score is not a verdict on safety, fairness, or legality.
A missing field means the attached public sources did not answer it. Coverage is uneven, publication does not prove performance, and a certificate has a defined boundary.
