Hello and thank you for visiting my profile page.

You came to the right place putting your trust in the skills and experience of an expert human translator, and not AI.

Human translations versus AI:

Ensure that every translation you buy is a great translation, done by a human translator. Don't fall into the trap of cheap AI guesswork. Machines don't THINK. More information below and on my website.

Machines will never replace the human translator.

There is no way a robot or AI algorithm will ever THINK and therefore UNDERSTAND a text and be 100% or any number of % sure to translate it correctly. All it does is match up words and phrases of your text with words and phrases used before in other or similar contexts but not your context. It does not UNDERSTAND your text, or your context, and much less can give you an accurate translation.

You always run the risk of getting parts of your translation completely wrong. There is no guarantee at all that what you have is correct if it doesn't come from an expert human translator. 

Unfortunately, that is not what we are told by developers of AI technology. Some people are even convinced they are receiving a text that is guaranteed correct because it came from a translation software, an online translation device, or an AI engine using an algorithm. Not so at all. 

What many AI enthusiasts promise is a cheap and correct solution, but it is nothing but an empty promise. Correct in one sentence, completely wrong in the next. 

Especially with medical and technical translations, these errors can have catastrophic consequences. Legal and marketing translations will fall way short of being professional. Riddled with wrong words, grammatical errors and stylistic flaws. Creativity, brevity, and clarity are other aspects of our work that a machine will never be able to achieve.

Why spend the time explaining this? Because we have an AI craze on our hands that is not justified, suggesting AI can compete with human translators regarding quality and price, which is absolutely untrue. Expert translators naturally will speak out against this because it hurts both, human translators' business as well as the clients who trust in AI and receive something they should never trust.
