Happy New Year! 🎉 In many cultures, it's customary to eat fish on New Year's Eve because they only swim in one direction—forward. In Spain, people eat 12 grapes at each stroke of midnight. In Brazil, people wear white for good luck and peace. Greeks hang bundles of onions above their doors for prosperity and good luck.

There’s a reason human transcribers are used in high-stakes environments like courtrooms and hospitals. AI transcription fails to fully account for that which makes us human – accents, intonation, background noise. But using AI can cut costs and save time. Don’t choose one or the other. Let us strike the right balance between the bots and the beings with our global team. https://buff.ly/3TPMX6R #multilingualconnections #transcriptiontips #culturallyrelevant #nuancematters

As businesses expand their reach to global markets, the demand for efficient language translation solutions continues to rise. While AI-powered translation tools promise speed and scalability, there are hidden risks that come with them, such as: 🏥Mistranslations can cause physical harm and/or affect well-being when dealing with sensitive topics such as medicine, security, or immigration. 💼AI doesn’t always understand industry-specific terms and proper nouns. 🗣️AI doesn’t produce the same quality for all languages. Lesser-spoken languages typically have error rates above 30%. 🌎AI translation cannot pick up on cultural context or nuance. 🚩AI translation may be biased. 👎AI may not use proper punctuation or formatting in certain languages. While there are many reasons to love AI's speed and usefulness, it isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution for global businesses. That’s where we come in. https://buff.ly/3QynDQk #multilingualconnections #spanishlanguage #professionaltranslation #machinetranslation #translation #vendors

Some things just make more sense in a mix of languages. Do you agree? https://buff.ly/49ELvJN #multilingualconnections #translation #translationservices #professionaltranslation #languageexperts #l10n #xl8 #i18n #translationpartner
