Explain your value
Many clients assume AI translation is good enough for everything. Language professionals can help clients understand when human translation and review matter, such as legal documents, medical information, marketing, and culturally sensitive content. AI can help you write clear, non-defensive explanations of your services.
Support your workflow
Some translators use AI tools for terminology research, first drafts, or quality checks, followed by professional review. Decide what fits your standards and client agreements, and be transparent about your process when appropriate.
Confidentiality
Client documents often contain confidential information. Many contracts restrict where documents can be processed. Never upload confidential material to tools that aren't approved for it.
Client education
AI can help write content explaining the difference between translation, localization, and interpreting, and how to prepare documents for translation.
Quotes and project management
AI can help write quote templates, timelines, and project updates.
Marketing
Case studies and industry-specific content can attract clients in fields like healthcare, law, and business.
Quality standards
Document your quality process and explain it clearly to clients.
Professional growth
Stay informed about AI tools and how they affect your industry.
Price for expertise
As AI changes client expectations, consider explaining pricing based on the expertise, review, and accountability you provide rather than only word counts.
