Why Choose Human Translators Over Machines?

Machine translation tools are fast, but they often miss the mark. Our human translators understand tone, context, idioms, and cultural differences. That means fewer mistakes and more natural-sounding translations that make sense to your audience.

Frequently Asked Questions About Human Translation

How much does human translation cost compared to automated tools?

Automated tools, while cheaper and faster, cannot offer the same level of accuracy or context as human translators. They also cannot certify or notarize translations. So, after using one, you’ll end up with a regular translation that won’t be as useful if you need it for official projects or endeavours, even if you spent money to use it. On the other hand, the cost of professional translation varies based on language pairs. For example, translating from Chinese to English may cost differently than from Spanish to Hebrew. Professional human translation starts at $0.09 per word. Upload your file to see the price for your language pair. Also, some translation agencies may charge extra for services like certification, review, or notarization, but at MotaWord, these are included at no additional cost.

A professional online translator understands context, tone, and nuance; free and even some paid tools aren’t so good with that. This makes a big difference in quality. That’s why, when creating MotaWord’s services, we considered exactly that to be our business’s advantage. We do believe there’s a time and place for tools and AI translation. However, you should never use them for important projects or documents, such as when starting a company or translating documents for immigration processes.

Of course, every professional translation agency is going to claim that they offer the fastest service and the best translation quality. So, how do you choose professional translation services when there are so many options? We recommend trying to see beyond the marketing clutter and looking for signs that show if the agencies can deliver on their promises. You can ask these questions:

  • Are there enough professional translators on their team? If so, does the agency have an adequate screening process?
  • Does the agency match you with translation professionals who are experienced in your field?
  • Is there a review or a quality analysis step?
  • Has the translation agency worked with important clients? What do they say about the agency?

If you are looking for a professional translator agency whose headquarters are physically close to you, Google Maps is the way to go. However, there is a more convenient option: online human translation services. If you decide to use online translation, you can solve your translation needs from the comfort of your home or office. Online services can also offer more language pairs, faster professional translation, and lower translation rates. Upload your document to start your translation online.

Many documents are delivered in as little as 12 hours, because several translators can collaborate on your project at the same time. Your exact delivery time appears when you upload your file. Upload your file to see the delivery time.
