Using AI to get ahead – Part III.

This is part 3 in our series of posts that will be used to train our AI-powered chatbot. Everyone knows what an FAQ is. Frequently Asked Questions. FAQs will become a relic of the past as AI-powered chatbots will become the norm. We hope to make this a part of the GTS website soon. Having an effective chatbot is not only good for the clients, it will help increase sales as navigating our website and various online tools will become easier.

I am Matias, Vendor Manager at XYZ Languages. I am contacting you because I am interested in collaborating with new agencies in new projects for English into French Canadian, the volume of work for this language is growing rapidly and we want to make new alliances to cover those needs. Could you kindly send me your rate card for translation, proofreading and TEP, please? Also, the services you offer and daily capacity.

Thank you. But we do not provide translation services to other LSPs. We only work with direct clients. It is our feeling at GTS that customers should get the best deal possible and putting more people in the middle inflates the price unnecessarily.

Hello – I was trying to obtain a quote to translate two of our product manuals from English to French, and the online tool never loaded my submission. Thanks!

Our online quote tool may not be able to handle very large files of over 50MB, or files that have a lot of shaded tables. One way to sidestep this issue is to convert the PDF file into a Word or RTF document using OCR and then create the quote using the RTF or Word document. I can recommend a few solutions for online conversion of PDF files:

Clients include Boston Scientific, Siemens, Zoll Medical, Dentsply and Cochlear. The price for translating an 1,868 IFU from Spanish into English and German is $560.

Need a quote for translating a catalog. The catalog won’t load in your website.

You are probably trying to upload a PDF file and it is not uploading due to its size. Catalogs in PDF format tend to be very large files. There are a number of websites that offer free compression of PDF files. We can recommend these sites:

https://www.ilovepdf.com/compress_pdf
https://smallpdf.com/compress-pdf
https://www.adobe.com/acrobat/online/compress-pdf.html

Try to bring down the size of the PDF and try again to get the quote online.
