Short answer: an AI translator is enough to understand a text or for low-risk internal use. A professional review is needed whenever the translation is going to leave the company: when it will be signed, published, delivered to a client or submitted to an official body. And if the body asks for an official translation, you will also need a sworn translation.
AI translators (DeepL, Google Translate, ChatGPT or those built into other tools) are part of the daily work of many companies, and it makes sense: they are fast and give acceptable results in general texts. The useful question is not whether AI translates well or badly, but what happens if the translation contains an error. If you only use it to understand a text, an error can be corrected without consequences. If you are going to sign, publish, send it to a client or submit it to an official body, the error becomes your company's, because the tool is not accountable for it. That is the criterion: the more the document matters, the more necessary a professional review is. And when an official body requires an official translation, as well as being reviewed it has to be sworn. That is what we solve with our AI translation quality control.
Understanding a text or preparing a draft: AI is usually enough.
Website, catalogues, manuals or social media: review before publishing.
Contracts, offers or reports for clients: professional review.
Sworn translation, also starting from your AI translation.
A professional and sworn translation team that reviews what companies translate with AI and knows where machine translation tends to fail: meaning, terminology, figures, omissions and additions. We review your translation against the original, correct whatever is necessary and, if it 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 of your document and tell us what you need it for. We review AI translations in the same language combinations we translate; if you don't see yours, ask us.

GuaranteedThere is no single rate: reviewing a short document well translated by AI is not the same as reviewing a long one that needs to be largely redone. The price is calculated based on these four factors, which is why we need to see the original and your translation 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.
For all other uses, the key is liability: the translation tool is not accountable for its errors, so the consequences fall on whoever signs, publishes or submits the translated document.
This information is for guidance only and does not constitute legal advice. At Trayma we check the use and destination of the document with you before issuing the final version, so we can recommend the safest delivery option and avoid requests for further documentation.
These are the documents companies most often send us translated with AI. If yours is not on the list, ask us.
