If you have a multilingual website or program, you may have been in a situation where you needed to quickly translate three lines of text into a dozen languages and do so with top quality: You might have wanted to tell your users about changes in a new version of your software, announce some good news to subscribers or site visitors, or make small edits in resource strings or the UI.
The adaptation of a website or program for foreign audiences has always been a major headache for developers. After all, such a task is far from trivial.
Every translation task should be approached professionally with attention to cultural differences, religious customs, differences in mentalities and other factors. First and foremost, it applies to advertisements and marketing texts, and, to a lesser degree, to technical ones.
Serious translation agencies employ the translator-editor-corrector process, which results in top quality. However, the price can be high. On the other hand, you won’t engage a large organization for the translation of a tiny piece of text. That would be overkill. Few agencies would agree to do it, but even if one did, the price would be steep.
Neither is it a good idea to take Cheapskate Alley, because you’ll risk losing more than you save. A cheap translation reads like the manual for a cheap Chinese phone, so it won’t do your product any good. Native speakers will scoff at inappropriately used idioms or an excessively bookish style.
It seems there’s just one option, which is to use native speakers for translations.
In essence, it all boils down to finding 15 translators and convincing them to help you with one or two sentences. These people should be reliable and know the subject matter. Otherwise, you may see something like “stealing techniques” instead of “steeling techniques.”
So, how do you quickly find an English, French, German, Italian, Japanese translator plus ten other “Greeks”?
This immensely complex task can be solved in a few minutes. A half an hour later, you’ll have 15 high-quality translations by native speakers. Doesn’t that sound intriguing?
