How Long Does It Take to Generate a Translation?
Translation times in Pairaphrase can vary depending on the machine translation engine selected, as well as the size and complexity of the file being translated. In most cases, translations are generated very quickly—often within seconds or minutes.
Pairaphrase integrates with leading machine translation providers such as DeepL, Google Translate, Microsoft Translator, and ChatGPT, all of which are optimized for fast, scalable performance across a wide range of file types and languages.
1. Machine Translation Speed
For standard machine translation, speed is typically very fast. While exact timing can vary, users can generally expect near-instant results for smaller files and short turnaround times for larger documents.
DeepL, Google Translate, Microsoft Translator, and ChatGPT are known for their quick translation times and typically generate translations within seconds to a few minutes, even for large or complex documents. Their advanced cloud-based infrastructure and AI models are designed to efficiently process high volumes of text with minimal delay.
2. Factors Influencing Translation Time
Several factors can impact how long a translation takes within Pairaphrase:
- File Size & Complexity
Larger files or documents with complex formatting—such as presentations, spreadsheets, or multimedia elements—may take longer to process than simple text-based files. - Post-Editing Requirements
If human post-editing is required, the overall turnaround time will increase. This depends on the length of the document, its subject matter, and the editor’s pace. - Real-Time Collaboration
Pairaphrase supports real-time collaboration, allowing multiple team members to work on translations simultaneously. This can significantly reduce turnaround time for large-scale or team-based translation projects.
