Where this starts
Between the machine and the agency, there was nothing.
Somewhere in your company, someone approves content they cannot read. Just because nobody on the team speaks Polish.
A wrong translation reads exactly like a correct one. Clean sentences. Correct grammar. Professional tone. And the word for load-bearing quietly replaced by the word for loading. Fluency is not evidence. Fluency hides the mistake.
The hard part was never the translation. The hard part is knowing whether it is right. You need certainty on the content that carries risk, and lower costs on the content that does not. Above all you need a way to tell which is which.
I was able to utilize the files TextUnited provided and our project could proceed. Comparing to ChatGPT translations there were significant improvements in translations by TextUnited.
Machine only
Fast, cheap, and invisible. Nothing checks the translation against the original. You find out it was wrong when a customer or a regulator does.
Send it to an agency
You get a file back and someone's word that it is correct. You pay the full rate on every line. And what the agency learned about your content stays with the agency.
Meanwhile this is what crosses your desk in a single quarter.
| An internal announcement | Nine languages, out today. Nobody is harmed if a comma is wrong. |
| A product page carrying a load rating | One number, and it is a liability the moment it drifts. |
| A fall-protection module | Arabic and Hindi, for people who will act on it. Arabic runs right to left. Devanagari needs more line height, or the vowel marks are cut off. Neither one gets retyped by hand. |
| A supplier catalogue in InDesign | German runs 30% longer than the English and the fixed text frames break. |
| Ten years of technical documentation | Nobody has read it since it was written. Now an AI assistant uses it. |
