Nitro - Fast, professional translations by native speakers, open API

@dennis_crane Hi Dennis, we really appreciate your support!! 😍

@dennis_crane Thank you for your support, Denis.

@dennis_crane thanks so much for your comment, Dennis - it's so wonderful to hear from long-term clients! 😍 Your support means a lot to us 🙏

@kagan_korkmaz1 Well, because Google Translate is a machine, but Nitro has professional translators behind it. Nitro is a paid service, where translators are always online and ready to translate texts into their languages. Quality is the difference. You can attach an image, give a comment to our text, and a translator will take those into consideration while translating.

@kagan_korkmaz1 hi Kağan, thank you! Good question! I can say it depends on what you need a translation for. If you just need to understand the general meaning of a text, Google Translate is fine. But if you want to translate your text for a global audience, for clients who will pay for your service/product - a machine translation won't quite work. The problem is that with a machine translation the quality is sometimes okay, but sometimes it's not acceptable. People don't feel like using a product (and paying for it!) if they have a hard time reading the content. Besides, while machine translation has been improving over the years, it's quality is not stable. I remember having an article translated from English into Turkish (by a native speaker) and running the finished translation to make sure nothing has been missed and that I don't have any questions. Funnily, Google translate gave me the opposite meaning of what it really said. The text was the following: "(İşte bu nedenle,) oyun geliştiricileri için yerelleştirme sürecini olabildiğince baş ağrıtmayan bir iş haline getirebilmek adına, (tasarım sürecinin en başından itibaren uygulanabilecek bir takım kurallar içeren bu listeyi hazırladık.)" - Google Translate says "...in order to make the localization process as a headache as possible for game developers". The Turkish version actually means “less troublesome as much as possible, less of a headache as much as possible” but Google translate is telling you the opposite! Sorry I was too carried away talking about the machine translation stuff. The point is, if you need reliable translations - you need human translations :) We in Nitro provide exactly that - human translations exclusively. And we've made sure it's a convenient process: many devs translate a text into multiple languages at a time (sometimes as many as 20-30 languages) - and we made it easy: you just need to tick off the required languages, and hit the "Send for translation button".

@margarita_s88 Thank you so much for this explanation. I understand you concern.

@alex_davidovich Not completely sure, but in SmartCAT you cannot simply paste your text and get it translated in 2 hours. You start with a question "What is the name of your company"... there. SmartCAT is feature-rich, professional translation management tool I could personally recommend (we use it at Alconost for some big localization projects). Nitro is for people who do not want to "manage files and projects", but rather think "get my text translated now, please" :) Hope this helps.

@natalia_est Hi Natalia, thank you very much for your support - a comment from a regular client means a lot! 🙌 I agree that ability to exchange comments with a translator is a very useful feature, often indispensable when the translator needs additional question. This feature saves time to resolve issues. We've only added it this year :) No, machine translation still has a long way to go to reach anywhere near a human level of involvement :)

@natalia_est Natalia, thanks for highlighting the comment thread feature! We do believe that the client can influence the quality of the translation from their side by providing some additional clarifying information 🤓

@nishith_shah thanks so much for your support, Nishith! 🙌 What a great idea! I'll think about how I can use it, an article or a video - but yeah, I think it will be very interesting, thank you for suggesting it :)

@helvacilar We'll be happy if you try out Nitro. We hope that it will meet your expectations! ☀️

@helvacilar thank you for your comment, Arda! I would be happy to chat and see what challenges you faced with previous localization solutions and whether we can equip you with what you need 😊 Thanks again and hope to talk soon!

@kartik_punnamaraju Hi Kartik, thank you for your comment! To be honest, Nitro is more oriented towards IT products rather than literature & stories. It is possible to translate some very short stories there, but generally literary works require more time and more context, so we usually recommend to translate such content in our localization department. As for technical documentation, I think it depends both on the volume of text and its complexity. Again, if it requires a lot of additional context, it will make more sense to translate it in localization platforms as we do at our localization department where we handle large projects. Nitro's best advantage is translating relatively short-length content on the go, in a self-service mode (where you don't need a localization manager to send a text for translation). Hope this answers your question, and also hope you'll try Nitro some time ;)

@margarita_s88 Thanks for the detailed response!

@nick_zaleski Sure, we can help with that, just contact us in the Nitro's chat. You may also want to check out the API documentation here: But if you have questions about it, our tech specialist will help.

@nick_zaleski for some reason I can't add the right link, but you can also find the documentation here: https://alconost.com/en/nitro/api
