Professional translators typically work at least twice as fast as non-professionals. They use advanced tools and have years of experience. Professional translation always costs less and works better than translating for yourself.
Benefits of Using a Translation Service
Using a professional translation service provides an array of benefits.
Translation of Highest Quality
Translation services use expert translators. They approach your content as a whole, within its correct context. This means your content’s “voice” is consistent throughout. They also understand the nature and culture of the language they’re translating into. This way, translations sound natural to the native-speaking audience you are translating for.
Streamlined Workflow
Thanks to WPML’s integration with translation services, you send content for translation directly from your site’s admin. You decide what gets translated and when. And when they’re ready, translations are automatically pulled back into the site.
You Can Choose a Service that Specializes in Your Industry
Your content may require special expertise from the translators. For example, not everyone can translate legal or highly technical pages. In such cases, all you need to do is find a translation service that specializes in your industry.
Speed and Deadlines
Professional translators are good at estimating how much time the translation will take. They’re also good at sticking to deadlines.
How to Choose the Best Translation Service for Your Website
Use the list of Partner Translation Services, also available on the Translation Services tab, located on the WPML → Translation Management page on your site. These translation services are closely integrated with WPML and welcome clients running WordPress sites of any size. You can use them for large corporate sites, as well as tiny sites and blogs.
You will not need to give professional translators access to your WordPress website nor will they see the WPML translation editor.
When you send content for translation, WPML creates a file and sends it to translators to edit in separate software. They will be able to see the URL and preview the content for context. When they have finished, WPML will ensure you receive the translation.
