Localization and Internationalization
Our services range from translating one or two static HTML web pages into a single language to translating complex sites using dynamic web pages containing graphics, animation, audio and video presentations, and interactive applications… all into multiple languages and writing systems.
In addition to the technical demands of creating an effective website to work on a global level, your site also needs to be “internationalized” – i.e., checked for its content and graphics correctness for the target audience.
Some Localization and Internationalization tasks include:
- Dates and numbers written according to target-language conventions
- Text, colors, and images adapted to the target audience
- References and expressions adapted to the target country
- Prices converted to local currencies, and payment methods used in the target country
Building an Integrated Localized Website
To provide an integrated localized website, you may also need to consider:
- Keywords, description tags, and other invisible text used by search engines
- Character-encoding for non-Western writing systems
- Dynamic content from applications (JavaScript…)
- Translations of PDFs in their original DTP applications
- Web-based applications
- Media productions, and translation within the content management system or database for dynamic web pages (.asp, .aspx, .jsp, .cfm…)
Technical and User Manual Translation
We specialize in the translation of manuals from and into English — technical, user, training, operational, and safety documentation — with strict terminology control and formatting consistency for government, manufacturing, healthcare, transportation, and technology sectors.
Translations are performed by subject-matter experts with engineering, IT, and scientific backgrounds, supported by custom glossaries and translation memory.

Comparison: AI vs. Human Translation
AI translation has improved dramatically in the last decade, but it still has several key weaknesses that human translators can spot right away.
Context and nuance: AI often struggles to interpret tone, intent, and implied meaning — especially in ambiguous sentences. For example, “bank” could mean a financial institution or a riverbank; AI may choose the wrong sense without sufficient surrounding context. In many languages, “you” can be formal or informal, masculine or feminine, singular or plural or triple plural (as in Arabic), or a combination. The AI default (usually masculine formal) may be incorrect and offensive to the audience (such as a group of professional businesswomen). Humor, sarcasm, and idioms are particularly tricky (“kick the bucket” might be translated literally).
Cultural adaptation (“transcreation”): AI usually translates word-for-word or phrase-for-phrase, but doesn’t fully adapt for cultural norms, local idioms, or audience expectations. A marketing slogan might sound natural in one culture but awkward or even offensive in another.
Register and formality: In many languages (e.g., Spanish, French, Japanese), the choice between formal and informal address is crucial. AI sometimes mixes them within a document or chooses the wrong level for the situation (e.g., using the informal “tu” instead of the formal “vous” in a professional French email).
Domain-specific accuracy: Technical, legal, or medical texts require precise terminology that AI might mistranslate without a specialized glossary. AI may also “hallucinate” plausible-sounding but incorrect terms when faced with rare or industry-specific vocabulary.
Formatting and consistency: Long documents can show inconsistent terminology across sections. AI might also drop formatting, reorder bullet points, or misalign tables and captions.
Ethical and privacy concerns: Online AI translation tools often process and store text on external servers, creating confidentiality risks. In regulated industries, this can breach laws like HIPAA, GDPR, or attorney–client privilege.
Side by side, here is how AI-only output compares with a professional human translator:
- AI: Often literal; may misinterpret ambiguous phrases, idioms, or sarcasm. Human: Understands context, tone, and implied meaning; handles ambiguity well.
- AI: Limited; may produce awkward or culturally inappropriate phrasing. Human: Skilled at adapting text to local culture, idioms, and audience expectations — lives in the targeted country and is a native speaker.
- AI: Can mix formal/informal language; may default to neutral or incorrect forms. Human: Consistently uses correct tone and formality for the audience and situation.
- AI: Prone to errors in technical, legal, or medical terminology; may “hallucinate” plausible terms. Human: Ensures correct terminology; follows style guides and glossaries; specialized in the client’s industry terminology.
- AI: Tends to select the statistically common meaning; may choose the wrong sense in context. Human: Understands multiple meanings and selects the appropriate one.
- AI: May be inconsistent with repeated terms or formatting across a document. Human: Maintains consistent terminology, style, and formatting throughout; creates and maintains Translation Memory and Glossaries.
- AI: Often produces unreliable output for rare or dialectal languages. Human: Can translate minority languages accurately if the translator is trained in that language.
- AI: All translations become public knowledge — risk of data exposure. Human: Always ensures secure, confidential handling of documents and information.
- AI: Weak at creative adaptation; slogans may sound literal or unnatural. Human: Can craft persuasive, idiomatic, and culturally resonant translations.
- AI: Extremely fast and cheap for large volumes. Human: Slower and more expensive; higher quality and reliability.
- AI: Accepts a limited word count; constant copy-paste. Human: Unlimited file size and numerous projects.
- AI: Provides no layout. Human: Matches the original layout.
- AI: No certification. Human: Validated by court-certified translators.
- AI: No second review. Human: Always reviewed by a second professional translator.

Frequently asked questions
What types of documents can Auerbach International translate?
We translate virtually any written content — legal contracts, technical manuals, medical records, financial reports, marketing materials, HR documents, government forms, academic publications, and more. Every project is assigned to a native-speaking linguist with subject-matter expertise in your specific industry, ensuring both linguistic accuracy and technical precision.
How do you ensure the accuracy of your translations?
Every translation we deliver follows a structured, multi-step quality assurance process. Where appropriate, we may begin with secure AI-assisted pretranslation to improve efficiency. All content is then translated and carefully reviewed by subject-matter linguists who are native speakers of the target language. For complex, technical, or high-visibility materials, we apply an additional layer of review to ensure accuracy, consistency, and clarity. We also use translation memory technology to maintain consistent terminology across projects over time — particularly valuable for clients with ongoing or high-volume content. Our approach combines technology, professional expertise, and rigorous review standards to ensure reliable, high-quality results.
What is the difference between human translation and AI-only translation?
Human translation provides the highest level of accuracy, cultural nuance, and contextual precision — essential for legal, medical, marketing, and regulated content where errors carry real consequences. Our AI-only translation service is a faster, more cost-effective option for high-volume, low-risk content such as internal drafts, data sets, or content triage where speed is the priority. We offer both options and can help you determine which is appropriate for your specific project.
Can you translate my company’s website into multiple languages?
Yes. We offer full website translation and localization services, from translating a single landing page to adapting an entire multilingual site with dynamic content, CMS integration, graphics, and SEO metadata. Our team also handles internationalization — ensuring your site’s structure, date formats, currencies, and cultural references are correctly adapted for each target market, not just the words on the page.
How do you handle technical or industry-specific terminology?
We maintain dedicated teams of linguists with deep expertise across industries including legal, medical, pharmaceutical, engineering, IT, financial services, and government. We also build and maintain custom glossaries and terminology databases for each client, ensuring that your specific vocabulary is applied consistently across every project we handle for you.
What languages do you translate into?
We provide professional translation services in virtually all world languages, including widely spoken international languages, regional varieties, and less-common languages. We support any language combination — English to non-English, non-English to English, or between two foreign languages (for example, Portuguese to Arabic). We also handle right-to-left languages such as Arabic and Hebrew, as well as character-based writing systems including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. If you have a specific language requirement, we can confirm availability promptly and provide a tailored solution based on your project needs.
How is the cost of a translation project calculated?
Translation pricing is determined by several factors, including the word count of the source document, the language combination, the subject matter, formatting requirements, and the requested turnaround time. Each project is individually assessed to ensure accurate scoping and fair pricing. We provide a clear, itemized quote before work begins, so you have full transparency on cost and timeline, with no unexpected charges.
How long does it take to translate a document?
Turnaround time depends on several factors, including document length, language combination, subject-matter complexity, formatting requirements, and your deadline priorities. As a general benchmark, a business document of approximately 2,000–5,000 words can often be completed within one to two business days, depending on the language pair and technical content. We confirm delivery timelines in advance and maintain a consistent record of meeting agreed-upon deadlines, including time-sensitive assignments.
What is localization, and how does it differ from translation?
Translation converts text from one language to another. Localization adapts your content, product, or user experience for a specific market — adjusting cultural references, imagery, dates, numbers, currency, legal requirements, and interface elements. Localization ensures your message resonates culturally, not just linguistically.
