The perfect mix of quality and speed
Sometimes, you just need a translation right here, right now.
FAST!
But that doesn’t mean it has to be a bad one.
We do out utmost to find the ideal mix of
speed, quality and security.
Better done than perfect – when speed is of the essence
Even though high quality is, naturally, a key aspect in professional texts, there are times when you simply have to have a result here and now.
Machine translation is a fantastic option for texts you primarily need to understand or pass on quickly, without every tiny detail necessarily having to be perfect.
You control what happens with your data
A veritable flood of free, publicly accessible machine translation solutions are available. They are smart – admittedly – but they come with something of an elephant in the room: your data and information may possibly be saved by an unknown third party. This comes with an inherent risk that your data could be used for other purposes without your being aware of it.
With our machine translation software, you never need be nervous about your information ending up in the wrong hands.
What would you like?
Types of machine translation
Raw machine translation
The fastest, most economical solution: your text is simply translated by a machine without any subsequent optimisation. This means that no work will be done on context, cultural differences and semantic niceties. Nor is any proofreading involved.
Light post-editing
Your text is machine translated and then checked by a translator. No changes are made to the style and tone – the translator focuses exclusively on content issues and grammatical errors.
Full post-editing
Your machine translation undergoes a complete review by a human translator, who works to optimise the grammar, syntax, semantics and style to match your chosen target group.
Best suited to:
Texts that simply need to be understood, without worrying whether they look a bit “machine translated” (internal documents, emails, minutes of meetings and the like).
Best suited to:
Texts that need to be correct and accurate, but not necessarily idiomatic and fluent (certain types of technical documentation, for instance).
Best suited to:
Texts that need to be correct, accurate and of high quality, without being especially creative or localised (for example, manuals, handbooks and such).

You ask – we answer
Which languages can you translate into?
Answer
A great many! Right now, we translate into 75 target languages in 250 language combinations. And our range of languages is expanding all the time.
This is one of the big advantages of our model, which is based on a global network of freelance translators: every time a new need emerges, we recruit a language specialist who has what it takes to handle it.
How much does a translation cost?
Answer
A number of parameters determine the cost of a specific translation.
These include the type of text, the language combination and the size of the Translation Memory we have built up for you.
We always quote you the best possible price based on these parameters.
Which industries do you translate for?
Answer
We work primarily – and most regularly – with companies active in the fields of transport & logistics, software, data & IT, robot technology, agriculture, industry and trade & service.
However, we cover many more areas than that, and we have translators with a variety of specialities on our books.
