AI-powered English translations:
The best of both worlds with MTPE.
Our translation service combines cutting-edge technology with the expertise of experienced language professionals. Using powerful machine translation and post-editing (MTPE), we first create a draft. The text is then carefully post-edited by our qualified linguists to meet the highest standards of accuracy, clarity, and linguistic naturalness.
Through this combination of technology and human expertise, we can offer high-quality translations more quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively.
For regular customers and businesses, we also offer Corporate Accounts with additional pricing benefits. Our system uses so-called Translation Memories, where previously translated content is stored. When identical or similar text passages occur again, they are automatically reused – so you don’t have to pay twice for the same content. To ensure that your brand voice remains credible and consistent, we maintain a global glossary. This way, we ensure that your communication in the translation – whether in German or English – is just as coherent as in the original.

All our translations are initially created using cutting-edge AI technology. This means you only pay for the linguistic refinement that goes on top:
1. MT (Machine Translation) is the most affordable option that we offer. Here, a text is translated by AI first - just like you would maybe do yourself using an AI tool. Our system, recognises any grammar mistakes, generates a translation memory and sets up a glossary to ensure consistency across this and future content.
2. MTPE (Machine Translation Post-Editing) is the ideal option when you need a quick and high-quality linguistic revision by a native speaker. Through post-editing, a text is produced that is more idiomatic, natural, and stylistically convincing. See above for the different price levels (Rev, Ed, Spec)
3. For marketing materials - like campaigns, web copy or brochures - we recommend a transcreation. This is when not only the content is translated but the language, tonality and cultural context is adapted to make it as authentic as an original.
