How to unlock global growth with human-AI translation


Expanding your business globally is always an exciting step; an opportunity to connect with new audiences and grow your brand. But when dealing with the speed and scale of global expansion, how do you ensure your message resonates with customers who speak different languages?
Enter human-AI translation – a modern approach that combines the efficiency of artificial intelligence with the expertise of human linguists. This holistic approach makes it easier than ever to communicate effectively across cultures. In this post, we’ll quickly run through how human-AI translation works, its benefits for businesses like yours, and how HAI, RWS’s digital self-service platform, can support your global ambitions.
What is human-AI translation?
Human-AI translation bridges the gap between speed and quality. It uses AI-powered tools, such as machine translation and generative AI, to handle repetitive tasks and speed up workflows. But humans remain an essential part of the process – expert linguists review and refine AI-generated content to ensure accuracy, fluency, and cultural relevance.
This collaborative approach ensures translations are not only fast but also tailored to your audience’s needs.
