AI / Machine Translations

Here at Tectrans we like to stay ahead of the technology curve. It therefore makes sense for us to have embraced the new field of AI / machine translations and for us to offer this service to our customers.

While machine translation systems are not quite at the point where they can do the job as well as a proper professional human translator, they are nearly good enough. They can help make the work of trained professionals more efficient. So long as a real translator is involved to review the text, it can be a good alternative for a great many cases, and at a much lower cost.

While this service is not suitable for all types of text, there are many circumstances where a quicker, more lightweight and affordable translation service can be just what's needed.

Discuss AI / Machine Translations with our team…

Machine / AI translations have come a long way in the past 10 years. While they do not compare to the high-quality output of a trained, experienced professional translator, they can be useful in many situations.

You can rely on our highly trained and experienced professional translators who will be involved in the “post-editing” of the AI output. This way, you get all the benefits and none of the risks.

  • A cost-effective alternative to standard translations (much lower overall costs).
  • A great way to speed up translation work if you’re in a hurry.
  • Suitable for all sorts of text, where you need to know what the text says and be able to communicate this effectively.

This AI / Machine Translation service can be useful for situations where speed and cost-effectiveness are most important; where you simply need to know what the text is saying and be able to communicate it, and can’t justify paying for a premium translation service to meet this goal.

Great cost-savings possible on larger work.

Faster turnarounds than traditional translations.

When pairing machine translations with human post-editing (MTPE) you get all of the quality at a much lower price.

Keep in mind, it does not work with all text. If you require the best quality prose – text written to impress people, to sell your business – then it might be better to stick to full traditional human translation and proofreading.

If this is of any interest, do get in touch and we’ll be happy to discuss it…

What our customers say…

I’ve been working with UK Techtrans Ltd. since 2002 and my predecessor before that, so we’ve been cooperating for some 15-20 years now. I’ve never experienced any problems caused by the distance between the translation bureau in England and my company in Denmark. We communicate through emails: I send my material to the Bureau for quoting, receive a quotation, instruct the bureau to go ahead, and a few days later I have my translated materials back. It is so easy and convenient. The company is highly professional and uses mother-tongue translators with technical insight, which has high priority for me. I have no trouble recoommending this company to others; I’m constantly endorsing it to my colleagues, when they need to have translations done professionally.

We have been working with UK Tech Trans Ltd. since 2007 and we are very happy with the exceptional service we have been given. UK Tech Trans Ltd work in a professional manner translating out technical manuals and quite often on an extremely tight deadline. The Project Manages are helpful and take pride in returning a Manual that has been formatted and ready to print on an agreed deadline. I therefore recommend UK Tech Trans Ltd as an experienced translation agency offering a reliable and professional service.

Thank you for sending me German translation. I went through it and all looks great to me.  The formatting is just brilliant 😊

Much appreciate for your hard work and great quality service provided.

Tanya Eyi / Pyroban

The demands of our customer have been very specific, requiring both Russian and English text on the same (often complex) drawings, and our expectations have been exceeded with the quality of the documentation returned. We have found the DTP and formatting to be of an exceptional quality.

Tectrans will always contact us with any questions prior to translation to ensure correct understanding so that documentation is delivered to us right first time. We have developed an effective working relationship with Tectrans, who we now consider our go-to company for Russian translations.
