You can’t be a local champion forever; a time will come when you will have to widen your market overseas or engage with consumer and partners that don’t speak your language. As a business expanding abroad, you’ll need to rely on translators to help your message reach a global audience.
Indeed, Google Translate is one of the most accessible translation tools out there with its state of the art AI technology and mobile functionality. Yet, The Atlantic describes it as shallow and far from real human understanding. We can all think of disastrous translation attempts in our own personal usages of it.
While Google Translate and similar tools are growing in adoption, they have proven over time that they can’t substitute professional human translation services offered by Ad Astra.
The reason why most entities settle for Google Translate is the ability to save both time and cost. But by taking shortcuts to translation, you could find yourself in uncomfortable situations. Imagine the damaging effects a poorly translated immigration document could have for instance? You don’t have to put your business or personal reputation and wellbeing on the line. A simple search online can pull up innumerable examples of poorly translated content that have jeopardized marketing efforts.
