Looking for a UK-based AI translation provider?

You’ve come to the right place. We help UK-based businesses get their translations done fast. And, crucially, right first time.

There are plenty of AI tech startups out there, offering automated translation as a feature. You may have been swayed by their promise of AI translations that are 99% accurate. And you may well have been disappointed when, inevitably, they didn’t deliver on that promise.

At Planet Languages, we do AI translation differently. We’re one of the longest-established translation agencies in the UK. We’ve used automation and AI in our workflows in one way or another for well over a decade. So we know what works and what doesn’t.

About us

Why choose AI translation?

Whether your target customers are based in the UK or elsewhere, you need to speak to them in their own language.

AI translation gives every business the opportunity to trade globally. It offers faster turnaround times and significant cost savings compared to traditional translation.

AI translation is a good option when you’re looking for a fast and scalable solution for your business. It’s ideal for content that needs to make sense but doesn’t need to win awards. Think internal communications, multilingual customer support and user-generated content.

There are many tools out there that will allow you to use AI translation yourself. They might even get you 70% there. But if you’re after smarter, more robust solutions, without the worry of getting it wrong or damaging your brand, we’re here to help.

AI translation powered by real expertise

Choosing AI translation doesn’t mean having to compromise on quality. It does mean being careful about your choice of provider, though. Instead of looking to pure technology providers for your AI translation needs, it’s always better to speak with a language expert first.

That’s because a language expert will tell you what a tech provider won’t. AI translation isn’t perfect. It makes mistakes. A language expert will help you weigh up the risks and find the right solution for your budget.

FAQs

AI translation is surprisingly good at grasping the gist of a text, especially for common language pairs. But for accuracy, nuance and tone of voice, a human linguist is still essential. This is especially true for highly specialised, creative, marketing, or sensitive content. That’s why we combine AI with professional post-editing.
Google Translate is a generic tool with limited customisation. Our AI workflows are tailored to your sector, your brand and your tone of voice. What’s more, a qualified post-editor reviews all content to ensure quality.

Costs vary based on volume, languages, and whether you need human post-editing. Generally, AI-assisted translation is more cost-effective than traditional methods for large-scale content.
Yes, especially if quality matters. AI handles the first draft, but human post-editors fine-tune it for clarity, tone and cultural relevance. That’s how your message makes the right impact.
