  • Post-Editing of Machine AI Translation

    Machine translation (MT) output is better than ever, but it is rarely recommended to use it as a standalone solution for translation services. Our team of post editors carefully analyzes your MT output alongside the source content and makes the necessary adjustments to ensure accuracy and cultural fluency. Avantpage can conduct the initial machine translation or work with output from your tool. Additionally, speak to us about machine selection, training, and API solutions.

  • Desktop Publishing Services

    Our integrated desktop publishing step reformats your translated documents, ensuring they maintain the original design. This step is crucial as translated text can vary in length and lead to layout errors if not handled by experts. Our multilingual designers review all graphics post-translation for a seamless final product.

  • Document Accessibility Services

    Document remediation ensures that your content is easily accessible via screen readers for individuals with vision-related disabilities. To avoid adding this as an extra step down the road, our designers can carry out accessibility work as part of our desktop publishing stage. They adjust tags, headings, and reading order to ensure that all individuals can access your materials.
