Restoring the Tower: LunarTech Releases The Full-Stack Architecture of LunarTech Babel

LunarTech has introduced Babel, an open-source platform designed to eliminate language barriers in the fields of global education and research. Unlike generic translation tools, this system is engineered to convert complex technical documentation and academic papers without losing the original context or formatting. By utilizing Generative AI, Babel ensures that the translated output retains the precise layout of the source file, making it immediately ready for professional use.

The platform prioritizes functionality over hype by strictly maintaining the structure of documents, including multi-column layouts and embedded images. During development, the engine was stress-tested against dense academic papers to ensure it could accurately handle difficult elements like mathematical formulas and data tables. This focus on high fidelity allows the software to distinguish between text that needs translation and immutable data that must remain untouched to preserve scientific accuracy.

To ensure accessibility for all users, Babel features a simple “plug-and-play” interface that hides complex backend architecture behind an intuitive, easy-to-configure dashboard. The tool currently supports high-quality translation for over 22 languages, including complex scripts like Japanese and Thai, with a roadmap for further expansion. Developed in collaboration with Google and OpenAI, this resource is now available on GitHub for anyone wishing to bridge the gap in global knowledge transfer.

Over the past few years at LunarTech, I’ve been incredibly proud of the work we’ve been doing with an exceptional team, and some truly powerful partners.

One of the things I’m most proud of is that as an American/Caucasian Founder and Armenian, we have been able to contribute to the significantly while we are able to channel maybe tiny part of LunarTech's potential.

For us, our country isn’t just a place on the map.

When you grow up outside your country, you see clearly what it costs when we don’t invest in our own nation—sometimes even when we don’t have a choice. That’s why I’m deeply proud of what we’ve been building in Armenia and United States with LunarTech and our other companies. And still, I believe we’ve barely reached tiny part of our potential.

We’re just getting started.
We’re building

…and there is so much more on the way.

I’m fully committed, my team is fully committed, and we’re going to continue until we achieve what we set out to do. 

This is only the beginning.

We’re excited to spotlight Rod Morrison journey with the LunarTech Data Science Bootcamp 🚀

When Rod joined us, he was a Chief Architect at Raken AI Labs looking to sharpen his hands-on technical skills and deeply understand what’s really happening “under the hood” of modern Data and AI systems. Coming from years in leadership, he wanted a programme that was practical, structured, and would help him move from fuzzy ideas to real MVPs—fast and real data knowledge.

Through LunarTech Rod was able to rebuild his technical edge in Data and AI while also improving how he communicates AI value to both engineers and business leaders.

Today, Rod has been promoted to #Head of Data Science and AI at Raken AI Labs, leading a team of six ( PhD data scientists and data engineers), while also running his own consultancy, CodeRod Solutions. 

As Rod says: “Follow the system. It works.”
