Latest Translation Technologies

The use of technology in the translation process is a reliable assistant that helps translator, and reduces costs for clients.

Skrivanek translation agency always strives to achieve the best possible results. We are well aware that the content characteristics of a result have to correspond with the original, and the translation has to be very precise in order to achieve an ideal translation. The consistency of terminology is just as important, especially when translating technical or other texts that have many repetitive terms. For this precise reason, we chose to invest in the newest available technologies that help us to preserve coherency and consistency when translating large projects. Moreover, when using CAT tools, the translation can be completed faster and more cheaply.

A frequent question clients have is whether or not long repetitive texts could be translated faster and cost less. YES!

Despite how incredibly fast technological development has become, it will be a while before computers replace human beings in translation processes.  However, translators have been using CAT (“Computer-Aided Translation”) tools – or translation memory programs – for more than a decade. The most notable advantages offered by these are the simplification of the translation process, the ability to shorten time scales and improvements in the cohesion of the final translation.

It is worth noting that CAT tools do not have the option to perform mechanical translations; they are not a simple uploading of an original text, receiving a mechanical translation in turn. However, these tools can be of great assistance for translators, editors and project managers in the process of managing daily tasks.
