MACHINE TRANSLATION AT VERSACOM
YOUR CHOICE OF SERVICE LEVELS
Machine translation with a trained system
- A translation is generated by one of our exclusive, secure neural MT engines, augmented with curated content for results superior to those of mass-market machine translation tools.
- The translation is generated instantly, and can be postedited or reviewed by a language professional.
- Not intended for final distribution without quality control, this service aims to provide instant, basic translation of your content in a secure and more reliable manner.
Revision of AI-generated translation
- Our language experts professionally revise content that you’ve translated using an AI or machine translation system.
- You can expect all linguistic and meaning errors to be eliminated and the terminology specific to your industry to be used.
- We also offer more comprehensive revision or professional rewriting for your strategic content in cases where the output from machine translation systems is still largely unsatisfactory.
Machine translation + light postediting
- One of our exclusive, secure neural MT engines generates a translation.
- Our postediting experts then perform a limited review of the translation and make necessary spelling, grammar and syntax corrections.
- This service combines AI translation with a basic quality control, for a lower-cost, faster translation of non-strategic communications.
A translation engine created especially for you
Versacom also offers clients the possibility of having an engine built just for them. Our specialists can guide you through building, using and maintaining a secure system that’s exclusively for your business.
THE PERFECT BLEND OF HIGH TECH AND LANGUAGE SAVVY
Specialized, trained machine translation engines greatly outperform generic solutions. That’s why we constantly augment our exclusive, secure MT engines with content that has been carefully selected and validated.
Expert content curation leads to superior results, with greater accuracy and consistent terminology.
A first-rate technology solution
For optimal results, our experts leverage a full range of technologies in addition to machine translation:
- Computer-aided translation software
- Translation memory systems
- Bilingual databases and search engines
- Specialized terminology and thesaurus-type tools
- Spelling and grammar checkers
Absolute security and confidentiality
When you use a website or online platform to translate a document, access to your content is no longer controlled. It can be shared without your consent or even become publicly accessible. If the file itself or its contents are confidential, the fallout from a data leak could be disastrous.
Unlike mass-market machine translation solutions, Versacom’s system guarantees the secure processing of your documents in a segregated IT environment. Versacom has several specialized and fully secure translation engines. Each one is private and exclusive to the client organization, with some hosted on our servers for maximum security and confidentiality. The documents you submit and their translations remain your property and will never be reused.
CERTIFIED SKILLS AND PROCESSES
Versacom holds the ISO 18587 certification. This language-industry standard specifies the requirements for the process of postediting machine translation output. Our specialized postediting teams have all the necessary skills and qualifications. They carefully follow the steps and processes set out in the standard to provide you with a quality result that’s fit for purpose. Under this international standard, light postediting involves the following:
- Using as much of the raw machine translation output as possible
- Ensuring that no information has been added or omitted
- Correcting any unsuitable content
- Rephrasing if the translation is inaccurate or unclear
WHEN SHOULD YOU USE OUR MACHINE TRANSLATION SERVICE?
- Machine translation is only suitable for certain types of content, or for understanding purposes.
- Even though the service includes light postediting and quality control, the result may still contain inaccuracies, inconsistencies or incorrect terminology, since it is the product of an automated, expedited process.
- Machine translation services are best suited for internal, non-strategic content; unlike professional translation, they cannot generate a fully idiomatic, accurate result.
- For high visibility documents that require flawless execution, professional translation is the only service to consider.
