How substantial are the differences in cost and efficiency between DL.Translator and traditional human translation providers (LSPs)?
“When selecting a translation solution, enterprises must carefully balance budget, speed, and quality.”
Root Cause Analysis
Hundredfold Cost Advantage
The average rate for professional human translation is approximately $0.05–$0.15 per word. By comparison, the cost of DL.Translator is around $0.00005 per word. For non-published internal documents, the cost is reduced by nearly 1,000 times.
Real-time delivery vs. lengthy lead times
A 50,000-word technical manual typically requires 1–2 weeks for a professional human translation team. DL.Translator can deliver a first draft in just 10–15 minutes, significantly accelerating time-to-market (TTM).
Best practice: AI + human post-editing (PE)
We recommend a workflow of 'AI translation with rapid review by internal experts.'By leveraging our bilingual alignment feature, enterprises can achieve 95% of human translation quality at only 10% of the cost.
Final Solution Summary
The objective is not to replace human translators, but to empower translation services through technology, making them an essential and instantaneous utility, like water or electricity.
