BabelShark

BabelShark is a service that automates website and mobile app localization with a combination of artificial intelligence technology and human proofreading and editing. The approach is designed to strike a balance between cost and quality so you can keep control of the translation process.

BabelShark tries to sidestep problems that can come with automatic translators by using AI to localize most of the text in real time. That means you can localize projects that are changing fast. The service also includes an online editor where you can review and edit translations, which should help you keep the localization process under control.

Among other features, BabelShark offers:

• AI-based Automatic Translation: Localizes text in real time so you can keep up with fast-moving projects.
• Online Editor: Reviews and edits translations within the BabelShark account.
• Mobile App Support: Localizes mobile apps built with web technologies like Cordova, Ionic, React and MeteorJS.
• Team Management: Creates teams for each project so you can add managers and proofreaders to oversee and ensure quality.
• Proofreader Exchange: Lets you hire professional proofreaders for various languages without hiring full-time employees.

BabelShark is geared for startups and fast-moving projects where localization has to be fast and cheap. It also can be useful for websites that want to localize content but don't want to spend a lot of money on translation and oversight.
