All translators who apply to work with Nitro and/or on Alconost projects must first pass our examination. Only 2.5% of applicants pass the test and can work with Nitro or Alconost translations.
With Nitro, you can create your own glossary and translation memory, so that translators can be more accurate and have the opportunity to dive into the specifics of your project.
Nitro allows you to leave comments and attach images and/or interface screenshots for the translator within the order. After your order is assigned to the translator, you can leave extra comments and communicate with the translator directly.
We constantly monitor the quality of work done by our translators by reviewing customer feedback via our supervision system. Only translators with a consistently high standard of work are allowed to work in Nitro.

Alconost has been providing professional translations since 2004 and is supported by the human translation platform Nitro.
I appreciate the quick response and delivery of translations from Nitro. My magazine is enhanced by the accurate and timely output. Thanks again for your service.
We used to work with freelance translators via a crowdsourcing platform, but the process was lengthy and complicated. With Nitro it’s easy for us to translate texts for our games into multiple languages simultaneously: we just copy the text, specify the languages needed, and receive our translated texts within 24 hours!
The most important thing for me is that Nitro uses only native translators. Texts translated by such linguists sound more authentic, which adds much more credibility to our products. This is critical for translating texts for our websites, as well as Ebay and Amazon platforms.
It works great for translating small texts into many languages at once. Instead of running around and searching for translators, you can just copy and paste the text, and in like half an hour, you get an email notifying you that the text has already been translated into 3 languages. It's pretty much a perfect self-service.
We tried working with freelance translators, but it was time-consuming and far from efficient. We switched to Nitro completely, because with Nitro the translations are ready quickly — as soon as in 2 hours — and all the questions regarding game-specific details are conveniently handled with a manager in the chat.
Nitro is extremely helpful when it comes to localisation for us. Allowing for quick turnaround, with great support, the results are of high quality. It's a core part of our process.
Our experience with Nitro has been nothing but positive. Your service has been a true life-saver! Translations into 32 languages are oftentimes ready in just one business day, and we can quickly add the option to the app without a release. We also appreciate that we can submit even a single word for translation.
Nitro is our favorite go-to service when we need to quickly translate various interfaces into multiple languages at the same time. It has a really cool feature where you can provide the translator with comments and screenshots, which is so important for obtaining an accurate translation.
Nitro has been a fantastic service to use for my localization needs. The accuracy of the translations and the speed that I get them back is very convenient for my day-to-day work loads. Their support staff has also been very attentive to my experience and makes sure they do everything they can to make my user experience easier.

Only those translators who demonstrate a consistently high standard of work are invited to work in Nitro.

Human translation rates can vary based on several factors. Because English is a widely spoken and often in-demand language, it might have lower rates compared to languages with fewer speakers or specific regional dialects. Additionally, the complexity of the language pair, the rarity of language combinations, and the expertise required can influence translation costs. Different languages may involve distinct linguistic challenges that affect the time and effort needed for an accurate translation. Economic factors, market demand, and the availability of skilled translators for each language pair also contribute to the variations in translation rates.
Yes, it is.
If you would like to place an order for your text to be proofread by a native speaker in Nitro, please make sure that the selected source and target languages are the same. For example, English → English [Proofreading].
A glossary is a list of terms specific to a particular subject area. For example, in business this might be the names of products and services; in gaming — the names of characters, locations, and items; and in app development — the captions of various interface elements.
Example: I want the company name Nitro to be translated from English to Japanese as Nitro (not “ニトロ”). In this case, I need to add two languages to the glossary: English and Japanese, and then add the term Nitro in both languages.
Using glossaries eliminates the need to provide comments for the translator about terminology. A glossary contributes to maintaining consistency in translated text across multiple orders and saves you time.
You can create one yourself on the Glossaries page, or upload in TBX format on your own. If you’ll have any problems, please contact us via email nitro@alconost.com or via live chat.
Translation memory (TM) is a repository of sentence pairs comprising source and target segments. This repository is based on your prior Nitro translations.
Translation memory enables the reuse of prior translations within a project. It accelerates the localization process for translators, ensuring consistency and enhancing the quality of translations. Besides, TM can be useful for you as well – you can go to your personal account and check it anytime for quick translation of the same phrases that you have used before.
If your order contains a piece of text that will match your TM, you’ll automatically get a 70% discount on the segment of translation matching to your TM.
To upload your TM, please send it to us in TMX format to nitro@alconost.com or via chat.
You can upload TM in the Translation Memory page in TMX format on your own. If you’ll have any problems, please contact us via email nitro@alconost.com or via live chat.
