Short answer: you don't have to choose. AI is useful for understanding texts and preparing drafts; a translation agency, for what gets signed, published or submitted to an official body. For many companies the most practical option is to combine both: translate with AI and have an agency review and validate the result, or commission the most sensitive documents from scratch.
Machine translation has changed the way companies work: today any team can translate an email, a report or a website in seconds. But AI is not accountable for what it translates, cannot tell which parts of a document are critical and cannot sign an official translation. A translation agency provides exactly that: professional translators, quality control, confidentiality and sworn translation when needed. So the question is not AI or an agency, but which documents your team can handle with AI and which need a professional. The model that works best for many companies is a hybrid one: translate with AI whatever is possible and have the agency review it before it is used. That is what we offer with our AI translation quality controlservice, as well as business translation from scratch.
AI produces a draft in seconds for day-to-day volume.
A professional review ensures the text says the same as the original.
At the agency, NDAs and secure channels; with AI, it depends on its terms.
If an official body asks for an official translation, a sworn translation is required.
A professional and sworn translation team that works with companies and reviews AI translations. We can validate what your team already translates with automated tools or take care of the full translation of the most sensitive documents. If an AI translation has so many errors that it is better to redo it, we tell you before we start. Personalised service from start to finish.
Select the language you need and tell us which documents your company translates. We review AI translations in the same language combinations we translate; if you don't see yours, ask us.
Depending on the document and your company's volume, you can combine AI with different professional services.

GuaranteedThere is no single rate: it depends on whether we review an AI translation or translate from scratch, the length of the document and the quality of the initial translation. The price is calculated based on these four factors, which is why we need to see the document before giving you a fixed figure.
Send us these four details and we'll reply with the price, a feasible deadline and the recommended delivery.
When a translated document has to take effect before a court, a notary, a registry or a public authority, a sworn translation is usually required, signed and stamped by a sworn translator-interpreter authorised by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a role regulated, among other rules, by Royal Decree 724/2020 (BOE). An AI translation does not carry that signature or stamp. You can check authorisation by language in the Ministry's official search tool.
When the translation does not have to be submitted to an official body, the decision is up to your company. What matters is to bear in mind that the tool is not accountable for its errors: the consequences fall on whoever signs, publishes or submits the translated document.
