Hybrid translation

What is hybrid translation?

Although machine translation is continuously improving in terms of speed, cost and accuracy, it’s still a long way from being as effective as a skilled, human translator.

The way we communicate as people is so wrapped up in our grammar, tone of voice and the wider context of what we’re trying to say, something that AI and machine translation simply can’t yet recognise and replicate with the same level of skill.

For large volumes of text, one cost-effective way to make use of the speed of computers is through using the latest technology in conjunction with a trained linguist. Our specialist software can quickly translate technical documents, such as regulatory documents in the field of chemicals management or environmental control. Once that’s done, one of our skilled linguists will then review the translation to ensure it is accurate, the tone is appropriate for your audience and the meaning of the original text is maintained.

About our service

There are numerous ways of translating copy, or indeed any kind of text, but when you need your translated copy to reflect your source text accurately, automatic machine translation will always, unfortunately, contain stylistic and grammatical errors.

Our hybrid translation offers the latest technology together with the skill and experience of trained linguists, to ensure your final translation is perfect for your audience.
