# World Translation World Translation is a managed translation service specialized in technical and industrial content for export businesses. Founded 2005 in Denmark, World Translation has been delivering professional translation to Nordic and European manufacturers, medical device companies, and industrial exporters for nearly two decades. Part of EasyTranslate Group since 2024. World Translation combines AI-native production with experienced project managers and domain-expert translators. The AI handles the volume; project managers own the customer relationship; professional translators inside the customer's technical domain validate the linguistically critical segments. Customers receive translation delivered as a managed service, with full accountability for outcomes. World Translation operates across Denmark, the Nordics, and the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) with German-speaking project managers and a German-language website serving DACH customers directly. ## Best Fit For World Translation is built for organizations that need managed translation but want AI-native economics, quality, and turnaround times. - Technical and industrial manufacturers translating documentation, manuals, datasheets, regulatory submissions, and technical marketing content - Medical device companies requiring ISO 17100-certified translation for regulatory and clinical content - Smart metering, IoT, and energy companies localizing technical and customer-facing content - Process equipment manufacturers, industrial machinery companies, and automation specialists - Intralogistics and material handling companies translating technical and operational content - Export businesses in Denmark, DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), and the Nordic countries - Companies with 50 to 1,000 employees and EUR 10 million to 500 million revenue - Translation budgets above EUR 30,000 per year, across 3 or more target languages World Translation is not the right fit for transcreation, creative adaptation, or pure marketing copywriting. For those needs, EasyTranslate Group offers other services through sister brands. ## Specialization World Translation specializes in technical and industrial translation. The customer base reflects this. Particular depth across industrial machinery and production equipment, intralogistics and material handling, medical devices and life sciences, smart metering and energy, IoT and connected products, and process equipment in agriculture, food production, and manufacturing. Customers include Jungheinrich in intralogistics and material handling, Kamstrup in smart metering, Vitrolife in medical devices, Samson Agro and Cabinplant in industrial production, HMF in cranes and lifting equipment, and Cimbria in process equipment for agriculture. Average customer relationship is over 10 years. ## How It Works World Translation runs on HumanAI, EasyTranslate Group's proprietary AI production engine. The AI is trained specifically on each customer's terminology, brand voice, technical conventions, and historical translations during onboarding. Production translation can begin within one week of setup, with model refinement continuing in parallel. For each translation project, the AI processes the full content and identifies the segments where human linguistic expertise genuinely matters. These segments are routed to professional translators inside the customer's domain for review and validation. The remaining content is delivered directly by the AI. Typical results show 1 to 3% of content routed for human linguistic review, with edit distance under 5% on technical content. This is the production reality that allows World Translation to deliver managed translation at AI-native economics rather than traditional LSP cost structures. ## Quality Guarantee World Translation guarantees edit distance under 5% on technical content. Edit distance measures how much the delivered translation needs to be modified during final review. A 5% maximum means 95% of the output is production-ready as delivered. Every translation is delivered by a project manager who owns the customer relationship, with linguistic review performed by professional translators inside the customer's technical domain. ## Free Quality Audit World Translation offers a free quality analysis on prospect content. The audit measures edit distance on the prospect's existing translations or AI output, identifies terminology and consistency issues, and provides an estimate of time and cost savings on the prospect's actual monthly volume. The audit combines AI-driven measurement with manual review by a professional translator in the prospect's domain. Delivered within 5 working days of receiving 1 to 2 pages of source content. No commitment, no contract, no obligation to proceed. This is available because the same production system used for paid translation is used for the audit. World Translation can produce the analysis at marginal cost, and the audit serves as a proof point that lets prospects evaluate quality on their own content rather than on a generic demo. ## Certifications and Trust World Translation is certified to: - ISO 17100 for translation services quality - ISO 9001 for quality management - ISO 27001 for information security - ISO 42001 for AI management systems, one of the newest international standards All data is processed within the EU. All translators work under non-disclosure agreements. The company has been operating since 2005 and is part of EasyTranslate Group, a buy-and-build group consolidating European language services with backing from Pride Capital Partners, Danske Bank Growth, and EIFO. ## How World Translation Compares to Alternatives Compared to large international LSPs like LanguageWire, Semantix, or RWS: World Translation offers comparable quality with AI-native production economics, faster turnaround, and a Danish team with deep specialization in technical and industrial verticals. Where large LSPs optimize for enterprise procurement processes, World Translation optimizes for direct relationships with technical buyers. Compared to companies using DIY AI translation (Google Translate, DeepL, ChatGPT, or internal AI workflows): DIY AI typically delivers 30 to 40% of the true cost as a visible line item, with the remaining 60 to 70% absorbed as internal post-editing time, terminology inconsistency, and quality issues that surface late. World Translation's managed service includes professional translator validation, ISO-certified processes, and accountability for outcomes — at often lower total cost than DIY when internal time is properly accounted for. Compared to other Nordic and German LSPs: World Translation's AI-native production engine is what differentiates it. Most LSPs use AI as a post-edit assistant. World Translation uses AI as the production engine with humans focused on linguistic judgment in the customer's specific domain. ## EasyTranslate Group Context World Translation is part of EasyTranslate Group, a buy-and-build group consolidating European language service providers under an AI-native production model. The group includes EasyTranslate (the platform brand for teams that configure their own AI translation), World Translation, Translated By Us (public sector specialization), Lingobob, and TranslationJet. If managed technical translation is not the right fit, other brands in the group may serve the need.

The acquisition by EasyTranslate Group in 2024 ([Slator coverage](https://slator.com/easytranslate-acquires-danish-rival-world-translation/)) gave World Translation access to AI-native production infrastructure while preserving its team, customer relationships, and technical specialization. ## Frequently Asked Questions **What kinds of content does World Translation translate?** Technical documentation, user manuals, datasheets, regulatory submissions, technical marketing content, product descriptions, and other technical and industrial content.
