How we use AI and machine translation

We use machine translation to generate initial drafts where appropriate. This supports faster turnaround and cost control. Certain content may be translated using AI and machine translation only.

Human involvement depends on risk. Human review is applied based on how the content will be used. Higher-risk content requires deeper human involvement, including one or more review stages.

What controls the output

We are not tied to a single provider. We run multiple AI and machine translation engines — including Google, DeepL, and Microsoft — and select between them per project, because no one engine is best for every language pair or subject. Engine choice, terminology, translation memories, and style guides are all configured in advance as part of the setup.

  • Google
  • DeepL
  • Microsoft
  • Language pair and direction Engine performance varies by pair, and by which way the translation runs.
  • Subject matter Domain and content type shape which engine produces the most usable draft.
  • Past performance Measured on human-verified results from previous work, not vendor claims.

Two ways to use it

Speed and volume

Standalone machine translation

We offer MT-only as a separate service with or without AI Quality Estimator & AI retranslation. This is suitable for internal use, reference, or high-volume content.

No human post-editing stage
Near human-level quality

AI with human post-editing

AI output can reach near human translation-level quality when combined with full post-editing. This follows ISO 18587:2017, which defines requirements for the post-editing of machine translation. Additional stages may be applied depending on content sensitivity, subject matter, or client preference.

Compliant with ISO 18587:2017

Not sure which level your content needs?

Our Translation Workflow Explorer lets you compare every service level side by side — and see the balance of risk, cost, and exposure for each.

Human involvement still matters

Despite the latest advances in the technology, human involvement is still required for most content. The level of involvement depends on risk, purpose, and use. Some content can be used with minimal review, while other content requires full post-editing or full human translation.
