    AI translation accuracy: The content types that need multiple rounds of review

    Some AI-drafted translations are approved in a single pass. Others go through several rounds of vendor work spread across days before they ship. We looked at a year of Tomedes' own AI-assisted (MTPE) projects, and the difference isn't random: it lines up closely with content type.

    Translation used to be One-to-Many. AI made it One-to-One.

    Over the years we've gotten requests to translate the same document for different customers. Legal documents, mostly. Both parties to the same dispute, each sending us the same contract. This has probably happened to every language service provider at some point.

    What you actually need to translate a death certificate

    A death certificate is one page. What depends on it rarely is. An estate can't be settled, a life insurance claim can't be paid, and a probate case can't move forward until the document is not only translated, but translated in a way the receiving institution will actually accept.

    Who's responsible when your AI translation gets it wrong?

    I read a piece on X this week arguing there are only four ways to make money. Labor: you trade time for money. Capital: your money earns while you sleep. Arbitrage: you spot something priced wrong and close the gap. Insurance: you get paid to absorb risk other people can't sleep with. Everything else is a story on top.

    1 in 4 translation projects hit a bottleneck you wouldn't expect

    I wrote recently that DTP, desktop publishing, is becoming a bottleneck in translation work. Not always, but often enough to notice. I used decks and packaging as my example: the kind of client-facing document where layout is the first thing anyone sees, and where AI handles the resize reasonably well but not well enough for anything that goes out the door.

    Tomedes restructures client team for end-to-end ownership

    Tomedes restructured its client-facing team so no project resets when it moves to a new stage. Here is what that changes, and why it matters most on the work that isn't a one-time job.
