What is a premium translation?

A premium translation at Novoterm is done entirely by a professional translator who translates into their native language supported by professional translation tools.

Why do you need a human to translate a text when AI can do it?

AI is an effective tool but it relies on probability theory rather than making conscious linguistic choices, and therefore lacks an understanding of subtle differences in language, underlying meanings and cultural circumstances. Human judgement is particularly valuable in filling these gaps. This is also the case for texts containing complex technical terminology, for example in areas such as finance, law or medicine. An experienced translator ensures that the message is not just translated, but also works in its intended context and for the intended target group.

What is the difference in price between a translation done by a human and an AI translation?

A human translation is usually more expensive because the work is more involved and takes longer. A pure AI translation is more cost effective but does not provide the same high quality without post-editing performed by a person. The time needed for this varies depending on the purpose of the text and your quality requirements. It is therefore important to weigh the pros and cons for each text and then choose the work process that is the best fit for the assignment. Novoterm makes an assessment and recommends the best work process to provide you with an optimised finished product at the right price.

INTRODUCTION

Professional translations by real people

Human expertise – the core of our business

At Novoterm, technology supports but humans lead. Professional translation tools and modern AI technology support the work of our professional translators – we call this premium translation – but it is human language expertise, judgement and experience that underpin the process.

Our translators have many years of experience and specialist expertise, and they are also highly skilled writers, which is crucial when a text needs to land with or convince its audience in a specific way. They translate into their native language, have a full grasp of cultural nuances, and understand the market and the country in which the translation will be used.

We listen, we understand, we translate

We look beyond the words in a text. We assess the purpose, target group and cultural context before the translation work begins. In close consultation with you and after a careful requirements assessment, we ensure that the translation maintains the highest quality while also fully and accurately reflecting your message and your company’s identity.

Based on the purpose and complexity of the text and your specific requirements, we select the right work process in consultation with you. For a premium translation this means:

Translation carried out by a professional translator
Professional translation tools as support
Quality assurance carried out by another linguist

We offer a combination of different work processes, including AI translation, tailored to the content of your text and your needs.
