    About

    About Our Machine Translation Service

    As companies expand their global presence, they face an array of challenges in the form of internationalization, one of which is having to translate large volumes of text in a given period of time.

    For this reason, more and more organizations are considering the pros and cons of using machine translation (MT) — with and without post-editing (PE) — as a viable solution for projects in which time is of vital importance.

    Based on our extensive experience in machine translation and PE, we have developed a streamlined process for analyzing and creating technologies, and have trained and specialized teams of linguists in this filed.

    For intellectual property solutions, we further have a dedicated business unit specializing in the provision of comprehensive IP solutions.
    Our professional translation solutions are always adapted to our clients' current needs, which means that we always evaluate each project according to deadline, budget, and purpose of the documents to be translated before recommending one or more of the following services:

    • As a leading language solutions provider, we know that every organization has different needs and, therefore, their requirements also vary.

      We are aware of how important analysis is before using any technology, and that is why our experts work hand-in-hand with our clients to choose the best MT solution for their projects.

      Our process involves:
      • We assess the quality and suitability of any technology option, whether it is the client’s own, or technology we have created specifically, or an option that is available on the market.
      • We prepare the technology that is best for our client, customize the engines, and maintain and update the technology as customized for the client.
    • Seprotec uses state-of-the-art neural machine translation engines (NMT) and has a specialized department dedicated to assessing, supervising, and, where necessary, maintaining solutions for each of our clients.

      Our customized solutions mainly involves creating a translation engine using bilingual corpora. During the process, unique domains are created for each client from translation memories and term bases or other bilingual datasets so that we can provide a customized service.
    • Our MTPE solution involves a process whereby automatically generated translations are improved by human intervention. Although it is true that machine translation has come on greatly in terms of improvement and accuracy over the last few years, when a higher quality is required, AI translated texts need to be post-edited by professional linguists, who edit and correct the output text as necessary.

      The MTPE solution results in a more accurate translation and, although it may not have the exact same quality as if it had been translated entirely by a linguist, it will be more than acceptable for the purpose of the text in question.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • What is machine translation service?

      Our machine translation services are all about leveraging modern technology to effortlessly translate content from one language to another. Neural network algorithms, combined with machine learning techniques, lie at the heart of these automated solutions. Popular examples include Google Translate, DeepL, and Amazon Translate.

      The key advantage of machine translation systems lies in their unparalleled speed and efficiency in automatically translating vast amounts of text. They are a blessing for businesses with global operations, swiftly bridging linguistic divides. However, to improve translation quality, some editing by a human translator is often necessary. Additionally, the integration of translation management tools serves as an added bonus, elevating the accuracy of the automated translation process to new heights.

      Professional language service providers can therefore help to find a suitable solution that is tailored to the customer's needs and can be efficiently integrated into existing processes.

    • How much does machine translation cost?

      The cost of a machine translation depends on various factors, such as the language combination or the service level, e.g. whether it is edited by a professional translator (MTPE) and what quality is required.
      It is also important to know which MT engine is supposed to be used and what the level of quality is. Is this an “off-the-shelf" solution such as the business versions of DeepL or Google Translate or was an engine created specifically for the customer using customized training data?

      The basis for pricing is generally a price per source word. However, a price per page or hour, especially if editing is involved, can also be quoted.

      When it comes to consulting services, an hourly rate is very common.

    • What is the best machine translation for my company?

      In the jungle of technology driven translation and Artificial intelligence, it can be difficult to determine which machine translation software is the right fit for your company.

      To determine the best approach, it is advisable to seek thorough advice from a translation company, because the answer typically varies based on the situation and your needs. Some key factors to consider include: The language pair The volume of text The type of text The level of quality required The size of the translation memory Security requirements Budget For instance, a customized engine may be cost-effective for large text volumes into specific languages, while an off-the-shelf solution may be preferable for a variety of different language combinations.

      If you require assistance in selecting the most suitable machine translation software and workflow for your translation needs, do not hesitate to contact us. Our experienced team of experts is ready to assist.

    • When does it make sense to use machine translation?

      There are many use cases where the application of machine translation makes sense, depending on the type of Machine Translation: MT is useful when the aim is to get a quick idea of what a text says and it is recommended when readers simply need to understand the message. It is appropriate when grammar and spelling are not of primary importance and it is advisable for internal use when editing by a linguist is not necessary. It is also ideal for translating technical documents and long texts quickly. It involves customized engines and the technology used meets the client’s demands in terms of confidentiality at all times. Machine Translation with Post-Editing (MTPE):

      Editing by a linguist improves the translation result and guarantees accuracy and correctness.

      This option is recommended when the priority is to communicate the content of a project, but the style is not particularly important. It is a quick solution that offers the reliability that comes with a linguist’s supervision and, at the same time, it is trustworthy and cost-effective for day-to-day business needs.

    • Is machine translation safe?

      AI-powered language translation has become increasingly popular as a quick way to translate text for a fraction of the cost. However, a lot of companies have concerns regarding the safety of machine translation technology and online translation platforms.

      The level of risk associated with machine translation typically varies based on the MT software used. While free online tools pose a high risk of internal company data being leaked and possibly used as training data for large corporations such as Google, there is a lower risk associated with customized engines that can be stored in a controlled setting.

      At Seprotec, we make sure that we offer our clients with secure solutions to safeguard confidential information to the best of our ability. Additionally, we inform our clients on potential security risks prior to implementation and advise them on secure alternatives.

      As a fundamental aspect of our operations, we have also implemented an information management system that adheres to ISO 27001 security standards.
