Machine translation is often described today with the intriguing word “neural” – a nod to the innovative technology that has improved it dramatically in recent years. We won't bore you with the technical details of how the latest translation technologies work, but there is one thing you should know:
In terms of quality, today's machine translation has nothing in common with the Google Translate of old, which was mostly just the butt of office jokes!
Since the leading translation engine from DeepL (co-owned by our compatriot Jarosław Kutyłowski) arrived in 2017, the translation industry has seen a genuine breakthrough in its potential to boost productivity. The new engine offered far higher translation quality, context awareness, terminological accuracy and stylistic nuance than the highly unreliable solutions that came before it.
At the current stage of technological development, translations produced by AI (artificial intelligence) are no better in quality than the neural translation that was available on the market several years before the famous ChatGPT was launched. A real leap in quality – in the substance of the translation as well as in graphic processing and text file conversion – is probably still a good few years away, but fortunately we can help you with all of that today!
For everyone who has ever asked a traditional translation agency to quote for a user manual, a data sheet, a technical specification or similar documentation in a foreign language – and the quote… knocked them off their feet.
For everyone who understands that in the age of advanced artificial intelligence and highly developed machine translation, paying a thousand złoty for a ten-page safety data sheet borders on the absurd.
And finally – for everyone whose company employs people (perhaps thanks to AI tools!) who can make minor corrections to a machine translation themselves – one that is of very decent quality to begin with.
