Abstract: We present an intelligent decision support system, powered by AI-driven prediction, designed to assist multilingual newsrooms in selecting articles for cross-regional translation as part of the digital transformation of journalism. Trained on 15,933 German-language articles from a major Swiss publisher, the system combines multilingual BERT embeddings with 41 engineered features and incorporates real-time editorial feedback through an active learning loop. It achieves an accuracy of 85.0%. During deployment, F1 improved from 77.5% to 81.2% after four weeks of feedback-driven exemplar refresh. Ablation studies indicate that sentiment polarity, regional relevance, and person-type named entities are the most influential features. The interface highlights key factors, ensuring transparency and consistency with editorial practice. By pairing hybrid NLP with human-in-the-loop prompting, the approach operationalizes intelligent translation triage in a live newsroom while preserving human control over final decisions.
