Translation Services.
AI When It Works.
Human When It Matters.

Translation converts content to another language while preserving meaning. Localization adapts content to language and cultural expectations of the target audience.

• Translation fits internal documents, technical materials, and contracts
• Localization fits marketing, websites, software, and customer-facing communications

Apex Translations helps you choose the right approach based on audience, goals, and budget.

At Apex Translations, we combine expert linguists with ISO-certified quality processes, advanced language technology, and flexible service options to match your business needs.

• ISO 17100 for professional human translation and ISO 18587 for AI-assisted translation with post-editing
• We use terminology management, translation memories, style guides, and structured quality assurance
• We take a consultative approach—understanding your goals, audience, timeline, and budget—then recommending the best workflow for long-term value

Apex Translations supports organizations across the multilingual content lifecycle—not just translation.

• Translation & localization
• Multilingual desktop publishing (DTP)
• Multimedia language services (video, audio, etc.)
• E-learning localization
• AI linguistic and QA services
• Interpreting
• Terminology management and ongoing language asset management

Professional translation is especially valuable when accuracy and specialized terminology are critical. We commonly support:

• Manufacturing, engineering, healthcare, life sciences, legal, software, education, and finance
• We assign linguists with relevant subject-matter expertise and apply quality controls appropriate to the content type

Accurate translation requires domain knowledge—not just bilingual ability.

• Technical, medical, legal, and regulatory content depends on consistent terminology
• Expertise helps preserve meaning and reduce errors
• Apex Translations matches translators based on the content domain, not only the language pair

The choice of the most appropriate translation service depends on the content’s purpose, risk level, volume, quality requirements, timeline, and budget.

• Good for high-volume, lower-risk informational content and drafts
• Human translation is usually best for regulated content, legal contracts, healthcare, customer-facing materials, and high-impact marketing
• Many clients use a hybrid approach for efficiency without sacrificing quality

Apex Translations recommends the right workflow based on risk, purpose, quality needs, turnaround time, and budget.

AI can support regulated translation only within a controlled workflow that includes appropriate quality assurance.

• Regulated documents require precise terminology and complete accuracy
• Even small errors can create legal, safety, or compliance risk
• Apex Translations evaluates each project to determine whether professional human translation is required
• Where appropriate, we can offer AI-assisted translation with post-editing following our ISO 18587 process

Both are international translation quality standards, but they apply to different workflows.

• ISO 17100: requirements for professional human translation, typically including qualified translation and independent bilingual revision
• ISO 18587: requirements for machine translation that is fully post-edited by professional linguists

Apex Translations is certified to both standards, so we can match the workflow to your content needs.

Translation memories store previously approved translations so that repeated segments can be reused in future projects.

• Improves consistency across manuals, websites, and product content
• Reduces cost for repetitive work
• Helps shorten turnaround times while maintaining approved terminology and phrasing

Apex Translations can also incorporate your existing TMs and glossaries—or help you build and maintain them over time.

Protecting confidential information requires secure processes throughout the translation workflow.

• NDA support available upon request
• ISO-aligned processes designed to safeguard client information end-to-end
• Support for client requirements related to HIPAA, GDPR, and industry-specific confidentiality/data protection standards

Yes—Certificate of Accuracy requirements depend on your destination and use case (e.g., court, immigration, government filings).

Yes. Apex Translations supports complex file formats and can preserve structure and formatting when required.

• We handle common formats such as Word, PDF, PowerPoint, and other business documents
• For workflows that require it, we can provide desktop publishing (DTP) support
• We confirm formatting and delivery requirements during project planning

Every project is reviewed by our in-house Quality Assurance team before delivery. Our quality process includes:

• In-house QA review: Every project is checked for accuracy, consistency, formatting, and project-specific requirements.
• MQM quality measurement: We use Multidimensional Quality Metrics (MQM), a recognized framework for identifying, categorizing, and measuring translation errors.
• Terminology management: We use client glossaries, translation memories, style guides, and reference materials to maintain consistent terminology and messaging.
• ISO-certified workflows: Our ISO 17100 and ISO 18587 processes establish defined quality and review requirements for professional human and AI-assisted translation, including independent bilingual revision when required.

Together, these measures provide multiple layers of quality control before your translation is delivered.

Timelines depend on scope, file format, complexity, and required review level.

• Turnaround is influenced by word count and subject matter complexity. A general guideline is 1,500 words per day for our Premium package. Professional is approximately 25% less time and Essential is approximately 50% less time.
• The minimum turnaround time is generally 2 to 3 business days.
• We plan review and QA steps based on your quality requirements.
• Tell us your deadline during quoting so we can recommend a realistic schedule (and options if you need faster delivery).

Pricing depends on:

• Language pair and target market requirements
• Word count and technical complexity
• File format and delivery requirements
• Turnaround time
• Quality workflow (human translation vs AI-assisted with post-editing)
• Whether translation memories, glossaries, or reference materials are available
