Answer
Hi Kevin,
The good news is that you have a lot of options. The bad news is that you have a LOT OF OPTIONS. Almost too many.
Here are some questions for you to consider -
-
- How will your clients use the software?
- What type of device will they want to use the software on (i.e., desktop, phone, tablet, etc.)?
- How much will they translate at one time?
- What languages do you need?
There are more things to consider, but that’s a good starting point.
Here are some options for translation software for computers or mobile devices -
-
- Google Translate
- Microsoft Translator
- Amazon Translate
- DeepL
- ChatGPT
- Google Gemini
- Anthropic Claude
- Weglot
The pricing varies wildly, but most of them have a free option. Pricing starts if you want advanced features or have to translate a lot of words.
There are also professional translation services where you can call a number and get a person on the phone live who will do the translating for you. These are typically expensive. Some examples are:
-
- DayTranslations
- LanguageLine Solutions
- Alta Language Services
Thanks for the question
