Translation agencies: definitely the way to go!

While modern translation technology might have driven many people to think that translation is a pretty straightforward science -as in, you input certain words, press “translate” and less than a second, your translation is “served”-, truth is, translation is a highly subjective art.

Many translations from one original text can differ significantly depending what their purpose is, the targeted audience, and the location of said audience. The style and tone change when addressing teenagers or veterans, architects or restaurant chefs, citizens from the North or people from the South of a country (usually).

To make a translation as localized and culturally adapted as possible is what truly makes a difference in a world dominated by instant machine translation.

Of course, that is nothing short of impossible when you are managing a global business with your own team of translators. No matter how many they are, they will never be enough.

The secret of a globalized, effective translation campaign is to have immense numbers of professional translators, not just one for each of the “big” languages. There are many different registers, dialects and varieties in every language, as well as innumerable minor communities that are sadly left behind if you only focus on the bigger picture.
