    We rewrote our quote page, because "professional translation" needed to mean something again

    I made a call this week to rewrite the Tomedes quote page. Not a copy refresh, a structural change to how we describe what we sell and to whom. Here is why.

    Notarized Translation Services: What They Are, When You Need One, and How to Get It Right

    Every year, people submit translated documents to government agencies, courts, and institutions — only to have them rejected. Not because the translation was inaccurate. Because the wrong type of translation was submitted.

    Is AI Translation Accurate Enough for Business? The 2026 Guide

    AI translation in 2026 reaches approximately 96% accuracy across 133 languages. That number sounds reassuring until you do the arithmetic: on a 10,000-word document, 96% accuracy means roughly 400 words are potentially wrong. You cannot tell which 400 words without reading the whole document, and if you are reading the whole document anyway, you are already doing human review. The accuracy question is not whether AI translation is good. It is whether it is good enough for your specific document, your specific language pair, and the specific consequences of the errors it does produce. This guide answers that question by document type, with real data from peer-reviewed research and industry benchmarks.

    AIPE vs. MTPE: What's the Difference and Which One Does Your Translation Project Need?

    AIPE is showing up on purchase orders. Translators are listing it in their service coverage alongside MTPE, and clients are ordering it for Hebrew, Punjabi, and Tagalog projects without being entirely sure what they have bought. The confusion is understandable — AIPE (AI Post-Editing) and MTPE (Machine Translation Post-Editing) describe essentially the same workflow, but they arrive from different directions: MTPE is the industry's technical term, while AIPE is the buyer-facing label that has emerged as AI translation tools proliferated. Understanding what they share, where they differ, and how both compare to full human translation is the most practically useful thing a translation buyer can know in 2026. This guide answers every question buyers ask before, during, and after placing an order.

    CATEGORY / Translation services

    Why we pivoted from being just a "translation company" to being an "AI-enabled language solutions provider"

    For almost 20 years, Tomedes built its reputation as a professional translation company. Then the market shifted — not away from professional translation, but away from the vocabulary buyers used to look for it. CEO Ofer Tirosh explains what the data showed, what the team decided, and what "AI-enabled" actually means when it is more than a marketing phrase.
