If you are running some kind of business in international markets (eBay include too), then you must be familiar with the importance of description of products, business letters and technical writing. You might be also familiar with the significance of translator in business. But, if you are not, then don’t worry about it. This article will remove all the doubts and misunderstandings from your mind.
Before starting with different types of translators, it must be very clear in your mind. That’s why; you need a good translator for your business or in very little case, marketing. A writer can describe your product as you want; he can write business letters and other technical writings like user guide and user manual as you want. But, a translator only translates what he/she is given.
There is no tolerance for mistakes; a simple and tiny logical mistake can change the meanings of whole sentence in a different language. There are two main types of translator and two subtypes of those.
- Human translator
- Software based translator
- Desktop application
- Web based services
If you are the owner of a small business or home office, then there are chances you might like software based translators. Desktop based application is faster as compared to web services but they don’t update frequently.
Web based translation services has two types, one is premium and second one is free. There might be difference between output and efficiency of both, but usually the only difference of these two is the features. Most of the web based services come with some type of demo, trial, and limited version or for limited time. It is recommended to use these features before you actually but the subscription or membership. There are several translation services are available on internet, many of those are free too.
The dark Side
Web based services or even desktop translation application lack some abilities. These are less accurate (less slips but more logical mistakes) and there efficiency is much lesser than a human translator. But on the positive side, software based translators are faster and cheaper than human translator.
