Translation & Language AI Consulting

Everyone can plug in AI. Or can they?

My expertise lies in guiding businesses to make methodical decisions about where, when, and how they leverage AI in their translation and multilingual content workflows, to mitigate risk, and have a clear yet dynamic strategy from the outset. How to track progress, when to remain flexible, which decisions are key, and who needs to be at the table?

My combined industry, applied MT research and translation background give me a broad understanding of quality validation processes, complex supply chains and processes, vendor-buyer relationships, market differences and attitudes towards language AI, as well as the diverse needs, pressures and talent involved.

I can help you and your team get unstuck with your strategic questions, and help identify the right partners for different steps on your journey.

See below for the kinds of topics I can support with, as well as some example client profiles and questions you might be struggling with.

Language Services Buyer

You are using or considering to use AI to convert your content into other languages for global markets, or to create multilingual content, but you are stuck with some of these questions:

  • Is AI the right solution for me? What do I need to be aware of, and when and how can I get started?
  • If I use AI, which one is the right solution for me? How do I navigate this exploding landscape?
  • How can I be sure that the quality is right for the target market? Is there a guarantee for preventing brand damage?
  • How do I integrate AI for multilingual content?
  • Can I launch several languages at once?
  • I want to ensure human oversight is part of my process, where can I find the right linguists or talent?
  • My team does a lot of AI experimentation, but it feels unstructured, I’m not sure what the take-aways are for us.
  • We want to do more cutting-edge research, but don’t have the resources, people, or knowledge to set this up and run experiments.

Language Service Provider 

are delivering professional language services to your customers, who have started to integrate AI / are asking you to use AI for lower rates.

Do any of the below sound familiar to you? I can help you upskill your team or the way you interpret and present solutions, so you become a stronger partner to your clients.

  • Our client leverages AI, but we don’t think the current setup works. However, we seem to miscommunicate: how can we get on the same page and find a solution that works for both sides?
  • We’ve been using AI for many years, and our solution is better than the one injected by the client. What should we propose to the client, who is expecting pricing based on his solution?
  • Our client says they have evaluated the quality of the AI translations, but I don’t understand them, and my translators are complaining.
  • We need to develop a story on our AI strategy, but we don’t know where to start and have opposing views in the team.
  • We are paying for a TMS subscription that comes with AI solutions, but we’re not really sure what it injects, whether the cost is justified, or whether this is the best platform for us.
