Balancing quality, speed and cost: how to get from from Mission Impossible to Mission Accomplished
In the world of defence, military and intelligence operations, accuracy isn’t just important – it’s a matter of mission success. However, as the volume of multilingual communications and technical data grows, so does the need for faster processing, all while keeping an eye on budgets. The challenge? Meeting the demand for speed without compromising on quality.
At APT Defence Translation Services, the solution lies in AI-powered translation, where machine efficiency meets human precision. By integrating AI and Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE) within secure frameworks, we help defence organisations streamline their localisation workflows.
AI and Machine Translation: Speed Meets Scale
AI and MT provide unmatched speed in handling high-volume content – but at APT, they’re tools, not replacements.
Here’s how we harness AI for large-scale defence translation:
- Processing with Speed: AI-driven solutions quickly translate vast documents—such as technical specifications or open-source intel.
- Custom-Trained MT Models: Using legacy data and defence-specific terminology, we train MT engines to match established style guides and lexicons.
- Integrated Human Language Tech: We combine CAT tools, MT, speech-to-text, and post-editing by our qualified linguists to create adaptive workflows.
- Security First: Our AI and licenced MT systems operate in isolated, secure environments, ensuring zero cloud leakage and full confidentiality.
MTPE: The Human-in-the-Loop Advantage
MTPE is the gold standard when accuracy cannot be compromised. It’s a collaborative process: MT handles the heavy lifting and certified linguists ensure clarity, accuracy and consistency.
- Eliminating Errors:
High-stakes defence content requires human review to eliminate ambiguity and maintain consistency.
- Expertise at the Core:
Our editors are Subject Matter Experts with direct military experience, ensuring use of correct acronyms and tactical terms.
