In a world where AI and machine translation tools are just a click away, one may wonder: why invest in professional translation? The answer is actually quite simple. When accuracy, clarity, and credibility are on the line, only a professional translator can achieve the results you want and need.
While it may have its uses, the risks of AI, machine, or other cheap translation can have severe adverse consequences for your business. For example, a mistranslated legal document, where even the placement of a comma can be significant, can lead to costly lawsuits. An error in a medical translation could potentially be life-threatening.
Although fast and low-cost translation can be very tempting, it usually misses out on context, cultural nuances, and industry-specific terminology. Trust us, you don't want or need that! Cheap translation comes at too high a price!
At Weis Words International, we’ve seen firsthand how professional translation can make or break a deal. For example, one of our clients is a large electronics and retail conglomerate that wanted to grow at levels requiring outside investment. After courting several large potential multinational corporations, a German corporation whose products are sold all over the world showed interest in making a large investment in our client but balked when they saw our client’s financial statements. Why? Were the numbers not good enough? No, that wasn’t the problem. The problem was the poor quality of the English language translation of the financial statements they presented to their potential investor.
The client turned to us after receiving a recommendation from another client, and we proceeded to re-translate their financial statements so they could be presented to the German investor. The result? Not only were they thrilled with the much higher quality of the translations we were able to provide, and not only was the investment secured, but they have now also brought in additional strategic partners and franchise agreements from leading international brands, increasing their success far beyond their original expectations.
How is it that our work product played such a critical role in our client’s success? A key benefit of working with us is our specialization.
