Pros and cons of translation services
A professional translator understands more than words, correct grammar, and language structure and can fully capture the author’s message. At Filoloog Translation Agency, translators have a native-level command of the language, so you can be sure that the translation ordered from Filoloog will be fluent, natural, grammatically correct, and, most importantly, will convey the same information and emotions as the original text. Our translators have plenty of translation experience in various fields, such as medicine, chemistry, law, economics, engineering, IT, banking, etc. The longer and more complex the text, the more expensive the translation and the longer the waiting time. At the same time, no piece of translation software or translator with less than a native-level command of the language can handle complex texts as competently as a professional translation service provider.
Pros and cons of translating things yourself
Depending on the level of language proficiency, it is possible to translate both texts and speech using your own language skills. Where your own skills are not enough and your language level is lower than necessary, you can find help from dictionaries, various kinds of machine translation software, Google Translate and ChatGPT. When using them, you should pay attention to the various nuances and capabilities of these pieces of software, and it is worth noting that the final text must also be read and edited by a human. However, no piece of software, no matter how smart, has reached the level of our natural linguistic instinct yet.
Using translation software for texts that have vital or commercial significance (in the fields of law, medicine, science, etc.) is discouraged to avoid information being changed or completely lost in translation.
It is important to know that the machine and AI will not maintain the confidentiality of your texts, but use them for their own development and training. Therefore, if you add a text to a public machine, its content is known to the whole world. For important and confidential texts, we always recommend contacting a professional translation agency. This way, you can be sure that the text remains confidential and the translation will be as close to the original as possible, conveying the message accurately also in the target language.
In conclusion: with texts that have vital or commercial significance, you should always use the help of professional translators from a translation agency. If you need to quickly understand everyday text (user manual, recipe, article, etc.) for your own use, machine translation software, Google Translate and AI are probably enough to get the message across – that is, if you have sufficient knowledge of the target language to check that the translation is more or less correct.
