What Our Clients Say
We considered jumping into our MTPE experiment with a new partner, but Alconost won out in a fair fight. They were able to offer us market rates and terms, even while maintaining all the extras and added value we always enjoyed from Alconost for our older projects requiring native-speaker localization from scratch.
We have external assessments performed, including by the App Store and Google Play, and they give us high marks for localization quality. We also order occasional LQA from other agencies, and they rate Alconost's work very highly. Basically, in all the years Vizor and Alconost have been working together, we've never had quality problems. I feel confident they'll never let us down.
Their customer support is perfect. The way they care about our needs exceeds my expectations.
What we liked most is that they know exactly how to work with Crowdin and provide MTPE services. It definitely matched our needs 100%!
Different combinations of MT, MTPE, and human translation make it possible for us to add new languages to the game quickly and inexpensively, which is incredibly important at the earliest stage, when marketing is less sure how much potential a certain locale might have.
I've used Alconost for several projects now, and I've always been impressed with their work. They're quick, accurate, and affordable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a localization company.
Alconost is a great localization company. They're always on time and on budget, and their translations are always accurate. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a localization company.

How the AI Translation Workflow at Alconost Works
Preparation Stage
We start by testing multiple AI models on your own content to find the best-performing ones.
1
Develop Prompt
We develop a tailored prompt based on your project goals and content type.
2
Translate Sample
We translate a sample of your content into the target languages using several AI models.
3
Evaluate Quality
We evaluate the quality of each raw machine translation using both human linguists and automated metrics.
4
Select Model
We select the top-performing model or models for your project.
5
Post-edit
We apply post-editing — done either by professional linguists or automatically (APE). If you choose Automatic Post-Editing (APE) instead of human review, we'll test several APE models to identify the most effective one.
6
Review
You receive a quote, testing results, and the post-edited translation sample for review.
Localization Stage
Once you approve the setup, we move on to full-scale localization.
1
Fine-tune (optional)
We fine-tune the selected model for your domain or content style.
2
Pre-translate
We pre-translate your materials using the chosen AI model.
3
Post-edit
Option A: Human linguists with domain expertise perform post-editing
or
Option B: AI performs automatic post-editing (APE) followed by quality evaluation
4
Deliver
We deliver the completed translations in the same format as your source files.
5
QA Checks
We run ongoing QA checks to ensure the model's performance remains stable.
6
Retrain (optional)
We retrain the model regularly, using updated glossaries and translation memory accumulated during your project.

FAQs
What LLM & NMT models do you use?
We constantly explore new Large Language Models (LLM) and Neural Machine Translation (NMT) models and add them to our list in case of successful testing results. Here is our current list of models.
LLMs: Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT (OpenAI or Microsoft Azure), Gemini (Google), Grok (xAI), Mistral, and other open-source LLMs.
NMTs: DeepL, Amazon Translate, Google AutoML, and others.
Do LLM models perform better than NMT models?
Yes, in our experience, LLM models tend to outperform NMTs. Still, only tests can show which models will yield the best results for your unique combination of niche and language pairs. We covered the topic of choosing the right model in this article.
How do I know what quality I can expect?
During the testing process, our linguists post-edit the best machine-translated version. This edited version becomes a reference translation. This reference translation is a sample of the level of quality you can expect.
What metrics are used for model evaluation?
We use industry metrics like nTER, ChrF++, BERTScore, COMET, etc., and our own AQI, which is a comprehensive metric that synthesizes various automated and human evaluation methods to deliver an overall assessment of translation quality.
What are your rates for AI translations + human post-editing?
Our rates for MTPE start from $8.30 per 1000 characters for one language. The final price depends on the language pair and the quality of the raw MT output. Better output quality means lower rates as it requires less post-editing effort. Once we've done the tests and identified the best-performing models, you'll get a quote with our final rates.
How do you handle sensitive content?
We select models for your project based on your needs. For the most secure and sensitive use cases, we can deploy an LLM model on a private infrastructure.
Who are your translators (post-editors) and how are they selected?
All translations at Alconost are performed by professional translators who are native speakers.
We have over 1100 professional native-speaking translators on our team who specialize in a broad range of fields. We always try to assign a dedicated team of translators to your project and work specifically with these translators on a continuous basis.
What localization translation management systems (TMS) or platforms do you work with?
Our first choice is the cloud-based translation platform Crowdin. We also work on other localization platforms, such as GitLocalize, Tolgee, Phrase, Lokalise, memoQ, Smartcat, WebTranslateIt, Transifex, OneSky, POEditor, Trados, and many more.
What file formats do you work with?
We can work with any file type, including:
Android .xml, iOS .strings, .stringsdict, Windows .resx, .po, .pot, .php, .json, .ini, .csv, .js, .plist, .xlf, .xliff, .stf, .dita, .ditamap, .toml, .gotext.json, .arb, .vdf, .wxl, .nsh, .properties, .dtd, .ts, .rc, .resw, .resjson, .yml, .htm, .html, .xhtml, .haml, .txt, .md, .xht, .idml, .docx, .svg, .pdf, .xaml, .srt, .vtt, .sbv, .mif, .idml, .rtf, .ppt, .odt, .ods, .odg, .odp, .wiki, .flsnp, .flpgl, .fltoc, .md, .xht.
We also work with other file formats and proprietary systems.
What languages do you translate into?
We translate into more than 120 languages, including the most popular ones (English, Chinese, Japanese, German, French, Spanish), as well as rarer ones and even dialects within a language, such as Spanish for Spain versus Spanish for Latin America. If the language pair you need is not on our list, our resource managers can find and test translators with this language pair for your project.
Can you help us set up integrations?
Sure, we can set up integrations for you. In addition to that, our localization engineers can develop custom integrations for niche platforms and specific needs.
