Service description
You want to know what you are paying for. Rate your vendors. Select the best MT engine or translation workflow for your content and target languages. Define the scope of post-editing. Monitor quality against agreed service levels.
Various techniques are available for MT quality estimation, ranging from automated methods to manual linguistic QA, though their results aren’t always comparable. A quality framework based on error typology helps to reduce subjectivity and eliminate bias in evaluations. The resulting scores can be combined with edit distance and time for comparable aggregate metrics.

"For me, it's truly fulfilling when I have the chance to see how our work directly contributes to our clients' success. My personal favourite example of this was a substantial project we undertook for our partner in the biotechnology research field. They were bidding on a project in France, and the RFP documentation was only available in French, a language they didn't speak. We seamlessly translated the French RFP into English and then the documentation they compiled for submission back into French in due time, utilizing a hybrid workflow with machine translation support whenever possible. I felt genuinely happy and accomplished when, during a company dinner, they shared with me that they not only secured the tender but also consolidated their partnership with this major client, ensuring a significant milestone in their growth."

A smart approach to eliminating PDFs
Streamlining multilingual content integration
Who among us hasn’t experienced the love-hate relationship with PDF files? While they’re excellent for portability and annotation, they become problematic when you need to open them for further processing in other tools, especially for creating multilingual versions. Dropping files into DeepL might seem like a quick fix, but it doesn’t address version control, differential updates, or quality assurance for critical content.
