iDISC is your professional translation company: Reasons for hiring us

Do you know how many translation agencies there are in Spain? According to Aneti (Spanish Association of Translation and Interpreting Companies), there are an estimated 720 professional translation companies, in addition to a wealth of freelance translators.

How do you know who the right translation service provider is for your and your business’s needs?

A professional translation company needs to offer quality translation services that go beyond taking content in language A and presenting it in language B. They need to have solid professionals who know each industry, and they also must have access to the latest and most powerful translation tools on the market, which make translating quicker and more efficient.

Computer-assisted translation tools have significantly evolved, to the point where machine translation tools now work reasonably well for specific language combinations.

We clearly need to make the most of the benefits these tools provide, but we must not forget that they are unable to match a professional human translator’s deep understanding of context or their creativity, so it is all about finding the right balance between technology and human work. As we saw in our article entitled Why does machine translation need postediting?, translation tools have significantly evolved, yet not enough to completely do without human work. We have no doubt that as technology evolves, so will translation technology, making a translator’s work increasingly focused on proofreading, problem solving and adding creativity.

This means that, for now, having a solid team of human language professionals is still a must for a professional translation company. Professionals are tasked with fine tuning translations to make them exactly what you would expect.

Here at iDISC we possess over 30 years of experience as a translation agency, and we help our customers enter new markets using the best technology and expert human professionals.

This article showcases all our services and the benefits of hiring us as your professional translation company.
