Translation that scales

How machine translation works
From phrase-based MT to neural models: why context and domain change the translation, how model tiers trade speed for quality, and where humans stay essential.
Document translation: beyond text
Runs, tables, SmartArt, text baked into images, PDFs that need reconstruction, length changes, and direction flips: why documents are harder to translate than text.
Glossaries and translation memory
Term bases decide names, titles, and legal terms once; translation memory reuses approved segments as exact and fuzzy matches. Governance, compounding, and TMX.
The post-editing workflow
Machine first pass, human judgment on top: segment statuses, QA checks for wrong numbers and untranslated lines, and choosing light, full, or no post-editing.
RTL, typography, and Arabic
Arabic document craft: mirrored layouts, the ؟ ، ؛ marks, Arabic-Indic versus Latin numerals, kashida, taa marbuta and hamza traps, mixed-direction lines, fonts.
Translate the document. Keep the design.
Right-click a file, work inside Office, or press F6 on anything on screen. TranslateX returns the same document in the other language: fonts, tables, and layout intact, terminology on brand.
