Informational & Draft Translation

The Benefits of Draft Translation Over Machine Translation

Unlike draft translation — which is performed by a human translator — machine translation is performed solely by a computer. This results in a less accurate final product.

In fact, based on objective third party analysis, even the most advanced machine translations available today are only 60 percent reliable.

Draft translations, meanwhile, are 75-85 percent reliable. This means you get a cost-effective final product with a fast turnaround that you can trust.

Draft Translation vs. Informational Translation

During draft translation, the final product is produced without edits or proofs. This saves time and money and results in a translation that is 75-85 percent accurate.

Informational translation adds the additional step of proofreading, which increases translation reliability to 80-90 percent.

For even more reliability, you can get your translation edited. Editing and/or review is a step interpolated between draft and proofreading. This 3-step process (translation, editing, and proofreading) results in translations which are 98-99.9 percent accurate and suitable for certification.

Certified translations are accompanied by a signed statement from the translator attesting to the accuracy of the document, which is then notarized for use in courts or government offices.
