Great localizations take time. They require the work of expert linguists deliberating over every phrase, researching, and then proofreading. They may be able to do, say, 3,000 words per day, but that depends on many factors and can vary widely. It’s best to have a single linguist do the translations, but when speed is needed, we can allocate teams of linguists to speed up the process and then use automated tools to help enforce translation consistency. Pure machine translation can be nearly instantaneous, but it’s not recommended for publishing online. However machine translation with human post-editing can speed up localization while still getting expert linguist quality results.
