Human Translation

A native speaker who can read not only the words but the context, too

Languages are dynamic and very rarely predictable. That makes it nearly impossible for artificial intelligence to pick up, and for machine translation to be up-to-date, there will always be a need for manual contributions. And even with the massive advancement of automated translation technology, almost all professional translation continues to be done by human translators, because machines haven’t developed yet to the point where they can handle the nuance of a marketing message, or the terminology and complexity of medical content. This is especially the case when the target language is as complex in structure and grammar as Arabic, and here are some of the reasons why machine translation will fail to deliver the desired result:

• Arabic has a lot of dialects that are different from each other, and even with the Modern Standard Arabic, each region has its own variety and you have to be careful with the choice of words and terminology when targeting a specific segmentation or region.
• Dual and Plural forms, and number-noun agreement in Arabic are very difficult because there are a whole bunch of different forms and rules.
• The difficulty in distinguishing between the masculine and feminine forms, especially when translating from languages that don’t have such distinction with names and adjectives.

To make sure your translations are perfect and to prevent misunderstandings, it's recommended that you hire a professional; a native speaker who can read not only the words but the context, too.

Translators in TranslationTouch team draw upon a lifetime’s worth of industry knowledge and experience, and combine it with a deep understanding of their culture. Machines, at least for now, cannot do this and even if they could, they would fail at being subjective. Although we maintain and utilize state of the art Technology Tools, usage is tempered by people, and the result is keeping your individuality rather than losing it through a technological process prone to generic and repetitive language selection.
