We came up with a “tailor-made” way to deliver quality translations for a third of the price and on a near daily basis

Why patch something up when it could be done easier

For the company Stoklasa, when expanding the e-shop to include new languages, it was important to obtain high-quality translations in the fastest possible turnaround time. They weren’t looking for wordsmithing. All that was needed was to retain the original meaning. Our MTPE service, i.e. machine translation with post-editing, was the ideal solution.

The client outsources translations on a near daily basis in batches of about 100 to 1,000 words. We, therefore, created a simple way to sync up with the client’s e-shop, which largely automated the collaborative process.

So far, we have more than 40 projects under our belt. The biggest one was the very first project when we translated 78,500 words. We simultaneously translated a large volume of texts into Spanish (approximately 103,050 translated words) and Italian (approximately 102,500 translated words).

• 5 languages
• 8 translators and proofreaders
• over 40 projects

We translate in the following language pairs:

• Czech — German,
• English — French,
• English — Spanish,
• English — Italian.

The collaboration, which began back in March 2021, involves:

• 1 project manager,
• 4 translators, and
• 4 proofreaders.

We didn’t just cobble things together

We communicated the current status and preferences with the client and proposed a solution to manage translations faster.

1. The client installs the software library we’ve provided to his system and then we sync his system up with ours. Assigning translators and providing them with the translation materials works automatically.

the client’s e-shop ↔ our server ↔ our translation software

2. We keep an eye out for errors in the source text, double-check their meaning against the website’s content as a point of reference, and then notify the client of any errors we find.

3. After the translation is finished, the texts are proofed. We make all the necessary corrections and then the client automatically receives the final versions.

Good translations with a smooth turnaround

• The translations were 100% under our management. We, thus, ended up saving the client time and money on operating costs as there was no need for him to hire an additional employee to monitor this agenda.
• The client doesn’t have to waste time sending files for translation and can count on the fast delivery of texts for a third of the price.
• Proofreading and alerting the client of possible errors in the source text allows the client to maintain consistency for all language versions of his website content.
