Why pay for translation services instead of using free automatic translation?
• Human language is full of ambiguities, exceptions, plays on words, subtle expressions, mistakes, and logical associations that computers just can’t handle. The idea of clicking one button and having anything translated properly into any language seems today further off than it seemed decades ago. • Having said this, automatic translations can sometimes give you an idea of what a given text is about, particularly depending on the field, the languages and the original document. One way to understand what these systems can offer is by having them translate into your native language. • Automatic translations can even serve as the basis for human translation with certain documents, as long as the expectations and limitations of this procedure are clear. LocalVersion does offer this fast and affordable service for certain types of jobs. Why pay for localization services if some distributors offer them for free? • Distributors can be excellent sales organizations, but they’re just not local
