Pairaphrase translation times vary by provider, with AWS Translate generally taking longer than faster services like DeepL, Google, and Microsoft, particularly for large or complex files.
The time required to generate a translation using Pairaphrase can vary depending on the translation service or engine used, as well as the size and complexity of the file. Pairaphrase integrates with multiple machine translation providers, including DeepL, Google Translate, Microsoft, and AWS, each offering different speeds and efficiencies.
1. Machine Translation Speed
For standard machine translation, the speed is typically very fast. However, there are differences among the providers:
- DeepL, Google Translate, and Microsoft: These are known for their "quick translation times" and typically generate translations within "seconds to a couple of minutes", even for large documents. Their sophisticated cloud infrastructure is optimized for fast processing and can handle high volumes of data efficiently.
- AWS Translate: While AWS provides accurate translations, it tends to take "longer" compared to DeepL, Google, and Microsoft. This is because AWS handles translations differently, performing machine learning during the translation process requiring "additional processing time", especially for larger files or bulk translation jobs. Users might experience a delay of 45 minutes to an hour for each translation request.
2. Factors Influencing Translation Time
- File Size & Complexity: The larger or more complex the file (such as presentations with multimedia), the longer the processing time, especially when using slower engines like AWS Translate.
- Post-Editing Requirements: If human post-editing is involved, it may significantly extend the translation process, as it depends on the editor’s speed and the document’s complexity.
- Translation with Real-Time Collaboration. Pairaphrase also allows real-time collaboration, where multiple team members can work together on translations simultaneously. This can help speed up the process, particularly for large-scale projects.
Conclusion:
While most translations are completed quickly within Pairaphrase, AWS Translate generally takes longer than other services like DeepL, Google, and Microsoft. For projects where speed is a priority, choosing the fastest provider can make a significant difference. Pairaphrase offers the flexibility to choose the most suitable provider based on your needs.For more information, visit Pairaphrase’s subscriptions page at https://www.pairaphrase.com/subscriptions/.
