TAUS Translation Technology Showcase Webinar Matthew Romaine CTO & Co-Founder October 2nd, 2013
Today you’ll learn about Gengo and how we provide massive translation scalability through our open API ecosystem, which follows standard principles and is easy to integrate and work with.
What does “massive translation scalability” really mean?
Tools and processes to handle any volume of
translation – scaling up and down efficiently.
For customers – an interface that enables submitting content in
variable quantities, quickly.
For translators – tools that enable completing quality translations in large and small volumes, quickly.
Web API
Supporting our scalability
Infrastructure Units (words or
characters) translated since launch.
Translators Possible only with 9,000
(and growing) community of qualified translators.
Languages Support for many source
and target languages.
100,000,000 58
Getting it done
Customers Submit Easy integration with
online documentation, free Sandbox, popular
client libraries
Translators Translate Regularly improving job
delegation and notification processes
Through API REST-based endpoints, JSON-based payloads.
2 “TOps” Team (Internal)
9,000 “Lay” Translators (Contractors)
75 Senior Translators (Contractors)
100,000+ Candidate Translators
Our Translator “Pyramid”
5 Steps to Quality
1. Testing 2. Training (PDFs)
3. Educating (glossary, etc.)
4. Reviewing (spot-check, etc.)
5. Feedback
API Ecosystem – enables …
• “plug-in” translation for any platform
• scaling submissions
• flexible UI/UX
• flexible integration types
• working with other APIs (TMs, speech-tech, MTs, …)
Key API Features
1. Submit any number of jobs simultaneously Multiple jobs in one request
2. Receive callback notifications when job statuses change Pending, reviewable, approved, etc.
3. Submit comments with jobs (and afterwards) Give context, links, images to translators for each job
4. Receive notifications when communicating with translators Be notified when translators leave questions or comments
5. Request revisions and give feedback API-driven means every feature has an API
Example API Integrations
• User reviews
• Product descriptions • Social Media
• Articles • Guides
• Manuals • FAQ’s
• Video Captions
from $0.05 / word
