Did you know?
Machine Translation vs. Human Translation
The big debate in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) era is whether Machine Translation (MT) can replace Human Translation (HT). The simple answer is no. AI will never replace human translators because machines are unable to capture the nuance that comes from each language’s different grammatical rules, semantics, syntax, and cultural influences. Also, machine translation cannot detect context, preferences, or industry-specific terms. Therefore, if accuracy is critical or even important, human translation is essential.
UNICORN A-M-P: The Magical TBMS
Did you know GLTaC developed an Advanced Management Platform (AMP) called UNICORN A-M-P or UNICORN that is deeply integrated with memoQ, PayPal, ProZ, and other software?
UNICORN is the result of over twenty-two years of development, including over six years and eight thousand lines of code for just the memoQ API alone. Continual improvements occur on a regular basis, with forty-five enhancements in 2023 so far, adding more automation and functionality to make this tool an all-inclusive and one-of-a-kind TBMS (Translation Business Management System). Truly, a UNICORN.
Our ISO Certification Endeavors Reflect our Commitment to Quality
GLTaC understands that business success often rides on the quality of your translations—and so do people’s lives. The combination of linguistic accuracy, understanding of technical details, and careful quality control has always been a GLTaC operational hallmark.
GLTaC’s dedication to quality control is illustrated by the original ISO 9001:2008 certification in 2010 and GLTaC’s ISO 9001:2015 certification in 2017. GLTaC demonstrates and maintains reliable and repeatable quality standards that drive the exemplary low error rate and high client satisfaction rate as presented today.
Why Costs vary so much between Language Service Companies
As the saying goes, “You get what you pay for" applies to the language service industry. Therefore, it is important to understand why some Language Service Companies (LSCs) cost more when shopping for a reputable, reliable, and experienced LSC.
Where do LSC costs vary?
LSC costs are directly related to the quality of the services delivered. Therefore, for documents that require a zero or near-zero error rate and must be technically correct and/or comply with regulations, it is critical to work with an LSC that goes well beyond the minimums.
Live Metrics
GLTaC is the first Language Service Company (LSC) to publish live metrics on their website.
This data comes directly from our Translation Business Management Software (TBMS) and undergoes validation during our internal and external ISO/ASTM compliance audits. We are confident in our ability to meet or exceed client expectations for service and quality, to the point that we want to share our performance with you in real time. These metrics cover the past twelve months of performance, with daily updates.
