What enabled us to create the fastest translation service?

TextUnited launched fast document translation in our dashboard – the fastest translation service available online, at the most affordable price.

But how are our services the fastest? What does the fastest even mean in the world of translation? And how did we make it happen? Keep reading because this is what we will focus on in this blog.

Mission #1: the fastest translation services

We provide the fastest and most cost-effective translation services available in the market. Our system offers three tiers of quality: machine translation, machine translation with human post-editing, and professional human translation adhering to ISO 17100 standards.

As machine translation and human post-editing already have impeccable speed, we decided to improve them by applying our Repetition Detection feature and AI-enhanced translators’ automatic allocation.

This component allows us to translate repetitive phrases only once and apply the translated version throughout the text. It speeds up translation and, most importantly, lowers the overall translation cost.

Mission #2: the fastest human translation services

Machine translation is frequently insufficient to satisfy the quality levels needed for professional translation projects, and the demand for delivery deadlines increases nonetheless. That’s why we got motivated to create an ideal solution for clients who need to have their content translated in less than 24 hours (or even less).

How does it work?

To achieve the goal of the fastest human translation, we improved our core backend functionality to handle so-called fast micro-projects and the abovementioned AI-enhanced translators’ automatic allocation.

Once you submit your project for translation, it starts automatically – our AI system pre-selects a team of translators, and the person who accepts your project starts working on it immediately.

Mission #3: Professional translation teams

We carefully pick experienced translators for a specific language combination and subject domains. These translators work with Text United regularly and are part of the ISO-certified teams.

Mission #4: Automated delivery

Delivery times depend on the language combination and the time the order is placed. Machine translations are delivered instantly, while projects involving human post-editing are completed much faster for the most popular language combinations (such as English to Spanish or English to German) compared to traditional translation agencies. Certain language combinations are more common than others.

Mission #5: Lowest cost driven by the market

Unlike other services, we don’t charge you a fixed rate. Our human service charges are based on direct access to translators. We use the best current market rate for a given language combination as we adapt the rates as prices change.

Mission #6: File types and formatting

We support an extensive portfolio of file types you can upload for translation. These include PDF, .docx, .csv, and txt files to more complicated ones like .json, .xliff, and PO. A great benefit of TUFT is that you will get translated files in the same file format and the same layout with text formatting.
