Human translation, machine translation and machine translation post-editing (MTPE) trade off quality, speed and cost differently. Choose based on the risk and visibility of the content; for high-volume projects, see our machine translation and AI services or MTPE services. For slogans, ads and campaigns that need to be rewritten rather than translated, see our transcreation services.

| Quality | Highest: captures meaning, tone, terminology and cultural nuance | Variable: can miss context, terminology and tone | Close to human quality for suitable content when fully post-edited |
| Speed and cost | Slowest and highest cost per word | Fastest and lowest cost | Faster and lower cost than human translation |
| Best for | Legal, medical, marketing and published content | Gisting and low-risk internal content | High-volume technical, support or repetitive content |
