Rapid translation is also an affordable option, making it especially ideal for urgent or time-sensitive projects.
However, quick turnaround times can come at a cost. Rapid translations, while highly accurate, can contain imperfections.
We say this, as we want to completely honest about our service levels, and we take a consultative approach to translation and localisation.
We wouldn't recommend Rapid translation for highly technical documents and marketing campaigns, for example.
However, is rapid translation still worth it? The short answer is yes, but you need to understand when to use it, and when to opt for our specialist translation service or transcreation.
We’ll discuss the strengths and weaknesses of rapid translations below. And, you’ll learn how to choose our Rapid translation service to improve your operations while saving money.
What you need to know about Rapid translation
Just because you need a translation quickly doesn’t mean you should necessarily choose a Rapid translation. The appropriateness of Rapid translation depends more on the content of the translation than its time sensitivity.
For example, a company memo is a great candidate for rapid translation. It’s time-sensitive, but it’s also internal, so small imperfections are not a big deal. When comprehension is more important than accuracy, Rapid translation is a great option.
Alternatively, overdue marketing ad copy is not a good candidate for Rapid translation. It may be time-sensitive, but customer-facing branded content (such as ads) requires more nuanced translation.
Sure, if your back is up against the wall, you can opt for Rapid translation services for more complex tasks. But this is not recommended.
We can offer a free translation consultation to help you explore each service level in more detail.
How it works, step by step
The Rapid translation process is built for speed.
When you partner with a professional translation company, like Wolfestone, you’re guaranteed to receive your rapid translations within 24 hours.
Here’s how it works:
- You request a Rapid translation by providing the necessary documents. Depending on the company, requests may be made day or night, seven days a week.
- Our team works on the translations, with an AI-led workflow.
- Following the translation, there is a standard quality assurance process to ensure the accuracy and clarity of the translation. For rapid translations, this typically includes one review cycle to ensure the translated content is ready for use.
- You receive your Rapid translation within 24 hours of your request, if required, but quickly regardless.
It’s that easy. However, it is important to submit your Rapid translation request precisely and to include all the necessary documents and instructions required by your chosen translation provider.
If you don’t provide the right information, your provider may not be able to fulfil your request within 24 hours.
