How Machine Translation Helped a UAE NGO Build Global Trust and Transparency

Traditional translation methods were expensive and slow, while basic machine translation lacked the accuracy needed for financial reports. To solve this, the NGO turned to MachineTranslation.com, leveraging an AI Translation Agent with Memory to eliminate repetitive edits, ensure consistency, and cut costs. With multi-engine aggregation, they accessed top AI-generated translations, enabling fast, precise, and cost-effective multilingual communication that strengthened trust with global benefactors.

That’s when they turned to MachineTranslation.com, a cutting-edge AI-powered translation platform backed by Tomedes’ 20+ years of expertise in language solutions. By combining AI translation with human review, they were able to cut costs, maintain translation accuracy, and ensure compliance with international standards.

Let’s dive into how they did it and how you can apply the same strategy to improve your organization’s global communications.

Challenges faced

Every organization dealing with multilingual communication faces key challenges. For this NGO, two major issues stood out:

1. High translation costs

Traditional human translation services can cost anywhere from $0.10–$0.30 per word. When you’re dealing with financial reports that run over 50,000 words, that adds up quickly—anywhere between $5,000–$15,000 per language! With multiple languages required, this was simply unsustainable.

2. Accuracy & compliance requirements

Financial reports must be 100% precise to ensure full transparency with international benefactors. A small error can lead to misunderstandings or even compliance issues. The NGO needed translations in English, French, Spanish, Hebrew, and German, and each version had to meet strict financial terminology standards.

Their goal was to reduce translation costs without compromising accuracy and compliance—a balance that seemed impossible with traditional translation methods.

Finding the right solution

The NGO explored several AI-powered solutions but found that most lacked the precision and flexibility they needed. That’s when they discovered MachineTranslation.com, a platform designed to tackle exactly this type of challenge. With a free consultation, the team was able to evaluate their needs and develop a cost-effective translation strategy.

Hybrid translation approach: AI + human expertise

To maximize cost savings while ensuring translation accuracy, the NGO implemented a hybrid approach:
