Literary Translations: High Quality with Lingvanex’s Customization
Challenge
A publishing house*, recognized for its high standards in non-fiction literature translated into European languages, faced a growing need for faster and more cost-effective processes. Traditionally reliant on human translators, they turned to machine translation (MT) to speed up workflows and reduce costs.
Initial trials with MT delivered fast, technically accurate results, but feedback from clients revealed a critical issue: while correct, the translations lacked a natural, engaging tone and “human touch” that the company was known for. This left the company at a crossroads — stick with MT for speed or revert to manual translation for style.
