Translations
and Technology

New technologies have brought about major structural changes at all levels of our daily lives, including the translation sector. Technology can offer many benefits to translation, both to translation professionals and clients, as long as it is understood and used in the right way.

Quality control

Rapitrad uses state-of-the-art technological tools in its daily operations to create efficiency to its internal processes and make them more effective for its market; therefore, it has equipped itself over the years with sophisticated translation technologies, without ever replacing the irreplaceable human input.

To ensure a quality, certified and error-free “product,” it is necessary to use specialized, native-speaking translators and linguists. Machine translation (MT) uses technology without human intervention.

Next to technology, only a “human” translator can grasp the nuances and idioms and can read “between the lines” understanding the real meaning of the text. Most important is the context in which a text is placed, or even more so the localization: when translating content from one language to another, the text will inevitably be destined for a different country than that of the source document; different countries correspond to different cultures.

The machine does not review or post-edit the translation. For Rapitrad, this is a focal point of its service: one of our experienced translators, who specializes in the document’s field, reworks the translation and verifies the document. Finally, a second person reviews the translated text and performs quality control: once the translation is typeset, the final layout is checked. In special cases, revision by a third professional may be requested by the client.
