Cost-Effectiveness
HYBRID translation is a powerful workflow that leverages not only a neural AI translation engine trained with financial corpus (language data), but also emphasise on the professional project management capabilities to integrate various productivity tools into one streamlined and efficient process. This solution is 40-50% faster than the traditional translation process, and reduces cost by 20-60%.
Moreover, such a process doesn’t compromise with the translation quality, as our post-editor team is well qualified in handling financial content and technology tools.
Our TMS also allows customers to either log-in and upload documents for translation, or establish a plug-in connection with the customer’s operating portal.
Our private and secured AI translation engine covers 17 language pairs, which includes primarily Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, major Southeast Asian languages and European languages.
Such process is highly suitable for legal and financial content that are factual content with minimal copywriting components.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does the Hybrid Translation process work?
Our Hybrid Translation follows three stages.
1. Prepare: we analyse your files, build glossaries, and run private machine translation plus translation memory inside our Translation Management System (TMS).
2. Post-Editing: our expert native linguists post-edit, proofread, and review, then we export the translation file and format it.
3. Finalise: we deliver the final translated files, and continuously improve the translation in a 4-week revision period, and project completion. This includes updating your translation memory for future projects where applicable.
How much faster and cheaper is Hybrid Translation than traditional translation?
The hybrid workflow can be up to 40–50% faster than the traditional translation process while also reducing cost by up to 20–60%, depending on the project type, content, language pair, etc. The efficiency and savings come from combining a neural AI engine with project automation and translation memory reuse, while qualified native linguist post-editors continue to review to ensure accuracy, consistency, and quality.
Which languages does your Hybrid Translation engine support?
Our private, secured AI translation engine covers 17 language pairs, primarily Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, major Southeast Asian languages, and European languages. For the full list of languages we work in, please contact us or send us your enquiry.
What types of content is Hybrid Translation best suited for?
Our Hybrid Translation works best for bulk, factual, and structural content, such as business, technical, legal, and financial documents. For creative content such as marketing copy that requires brand tone and cultural adaptation, transcreation is the better fit.
What file formats can you handle, and will my layout be preserved?
We support Microsoft Office and OpenOffice files, PDF, HTML/XHTML/PHP, SRT subtitles, XLIFF and other bilingual formats, DITA and localisation XML, InDesign IDML, and image files via OCR. Translations are delivered in the format and layout of the original document.
