What AI translation can and cannot do, where expert review is non-negotiable, and how the two are combined in practice.
AI can produce fast first drafts, but it cannot verify technical accuracy, cultural judgment, legal accountability, or compliance precision. Human expert review provides the checks a model cannot. We use AI for drafting and domain experts for review.
Three reasons: (1) Domain accuracy — AI cannot verify if a term is used correctly in a specific engineering or medical context. (2) Legal liability — AI tools disclaim all output liability. When a regulatory submission fails or a product is misused, someone must be accountable. We are. (3) Compliance precision — regulatory bodies require traceable, accountable translation with certified domain expertise.
AI-assisted translation is appropriate when errors have low stakes: internal reference documents, high-volume repetitive text, e-commerce listings, FAQ drafts, email correspondence, and meeting summaries.
Expert review is non-negotiable when errors affect safety, compliance, or commercial outcome: semiconductor datasheets and EDA documentation, medical device regulatory filings (FDA/CE/NMPA), legal contracts and patents, aerospace and UAV documentation, and brand-sensitive marketing campaigns.
We use enterprise-grade API access with data retention disabled. Your content is never used for AI model training. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). NDAs are standard for all enterprise engagements.
Yes. At Angel Premium (L3) and Angel Global (L4) service levels, clients can specify human-only workflow. Translators work directly from source without AI assistance. Common for brand-sensitive, literary, and highly confidential content.
We use enterprise API access to leading models, supported by our long-standing industry terminology base. The AI layer is a production tool — our quality system (expert review + LISA QA audit) maintains consistent standards regardless of which model is used.
AI reduces human time for initial drafting, not for expert review or QA. For L1 and L2 service levels, cost savings of 40–70% are realistic. For L3 and L4, the expert review stage is not shortened by AI — the gain is faster delivery, not reduced cost.
