How to use our service
   
We use the most advanced Translation Memory, Trados, to dramatically reduce your translation cost while guaranteeing translation quality.


The core concept of Translation Memory (TM) (sometimes also called Machine-assisted Human Translation, or Computer-aided Translation) is automating the re-use of previously translated terms and sentences. It is designed for use by professional translators. It does not automatically produce computer-generated translation. Instead it allows the translator to improve his/her productivity and consistency by re-using terms and sentences which have been translated in the past.
 
Trados is the most famous, a gold standard Translation Memory software, which is widely used worldwide by professional translators to improve the productivity and translation quality. Trados acts to work with, rather than replace, human language translators. Such a combination of language technology and human intelligence produces the only reliable source of high-quality patent translation available today.
 
1 ) To reduce your patent translation cost

A typical patent has 30-60 pages long. If there are multiple patents filed in the same areas, for example the patents on AGM, or on diaper design, there are a lot of similarity in the patent specification. Using Trados, we can re-cycle the sentences which we have translated before and which have been store in the translation memory. As a result, the same sentence usually does not need to be translated again. These translation productivity gains create direct savings in translation costs for you. Savings in total translation costs are typically in the range of 20% - 50% and can be as high as 70%, depending on the document type.


2) To improve translation consistency and quality

Trados allows us to compare and reuse previous translations, ensuring consistency and accuracy throughout multiple patents translation. As the result, we can provide you an accurate, consistent, and top-quality patent translation at a competitive cost.

Under Trados environment, the more we translate for you, the cheaper the cost because of the cumulated translation memory database.
