Many people seem to be afraid of AI. The most extreme scenarios detail a world where AI-powered robots will launch a military attack against humans and engage in genocide. Other much less scary scenarios envision massive reduction of jobs, as human employees will be replaced by software. This technology is gaining the attention of governments, as they try to provide regulation to assuage these fears. One prominent example of this is President Biden’s AI summit in which he met with the top AI industry CEOs. These types of events signal that AI is a force to be reckoned with and may well disrupt many workflows that have become part of everyday life.
The doomsday scenario in which robots start to kill people seems to be way off. But AI replacing jobs seems to be very real. In one related announcement, IBM’s CEO stated that he expects AI to replace thousands of jobs in the near future.
But instead of fearing AI, people should start thinking about how AI can help them get ahead. Clearly, the CEOs of the big tech companies like IBM are already making moves to enable AI to cut labor costs and improve their profitability. But AI will not only benefit large corporations, it should provide to benefit small businesses, sole proprietors and salaried employees. If your job has repetitive tasks, try and find a way to get AI to do these for you and concentrate on the areas in which you bring the most added value. For if you do not convert to the new way of doing things, you may find yourself out of work.
GTS is thinking of ways to implement AI for the benefits of itself and its customers. One of the most repetitive tasks is fielding customer questions about our translation services and providing price quotes. We already have automated price quotes on our website, and customers get instant price quotes online. Yet many customers still send us questions via email or chat. We are currently training a chatbot to engage with customers and provide answers to their questions. This is clearly a repetitive tasks which AI can help with, allowing GTS employees to focus on more specialized work.
This blog post is the first in a series of posts which contains some of the data that we will use to train our new AI-powered chatbot. All of the questions featured in these posts are real questions made by customers.

I am requesting medical records of a hospital stay in Germany 22+ years ago for my husband while he was stationed in Germany with the US Army. I think the records will be in German and quite possibly hard to read (as doctors’ handwriting go LOL). I would like to know if you have any experience with that sort of translations. Please advise.
We have extensive experience in translation of medical records from German to English. But we do not translate handwritten texts for two reasons: (a) it is often difficult to read some handwritten texts and (b) it is not possible to obtain a word count for these documents.
Hello, our company is starting registration with the Mexican government through CompraNet. We have been asked to provide our constitutive documents (PA LLC filing and fictious name paperwork), our fiscal identification (SS-4 document), and proof of our address that have been apostilled, legalized and translated into Spanish. This is the first time we are registering with a foreign government, and we are not familiar with this process. What services will meet these requirements? Additionally, do our documents need to have an apostille before being translated?
We can help you translate the documents into Mexican Spanish. We also provide a signed statement of accuracy certificate which is recognized by the Mexican government. But we do not provide apostille services. . You can get an online price quote for Mexican Spanish translation services here: https://www.gts-translation.com/get-quote

Hello, I work for a medical device manufacturer. I have several instructions for use documents in various languages and I would like not to translate them, but to have a proofreading of the document to correct any mistake that might be present. Is this a service that you propose? If yes, how different is the pricing? Thanks in advance for your feedback.
In general, proofreading a professional translation costs 50% of the translation price. In our proofreading process, we compare the original and the translation on a line-by-line basis; and we also read the translated text to ensure fluent reading by the target audience. The most efficient way to do the proofreading is to review aligned, bilingual text in a TMX or other translation memory file (e.g. SDLXLIFF). Please bear in mind that we do not proofread machine translated text (like Google Translate).
