What our clients say
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.
FAQ
Who are the translators with Nitro? How do you hire them?
Nitro provides online human translation services through a network of trusted professionals with a native-level command of the source and target languages. On average, they have been working with Nitro for 4.5 years, and their professional experience exceeds 10 years.
Translations in Nitro are performed by the same native-speaking professionals who work at Alconost. In order to get hired by Alconost, candidates must pass a portfolio review and complete a test. Each translation test is verified by an editor. Only 2.5% of applicants pass the test and can then work at Alconost.
Only those translators who demonstrate a consistently high standard of work are invited to work in Nitro.
Can I add some comments or explanations for the translator?
When placing your order, you can leave comments for the translator and add images that will help them better understand the context.
Can I send files for translation?
At the moment, only plain text and Google Docs can be translated in Nitro.
However, you can send files in any other format using the order form at https://alconost.com/order, in which case one of our agency’s managers will handle your files.
Is it possible to order proofreading services online?
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].
What is a glossary and how can I benefit from it? Can I create a glossary myself, or upload an existing glossary?
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.
Using glossaries helps avoid the need to leave comments for the translator regarding terminology. A glossary helps ensure the consistency of translated text across multiple orders and saves you time.
Nitro supports the use of glossaries. You can create one yourself, or ask us to import a glossary that you already have via online-chat.
How can I pay? Can I get an invoice?
The payment options currently available in Nitro include:
- Credit card/debit card
- Wire transfer
- PayPal
Regular customers have the option of working on credit.
If you are a legal entity, you can request a receipt for topping up your balance or get an invoice for a payment already made. To do this when topping up your balance, select the "Wire transfer" option and follow the instructions on the screen.
Are there any automation opportunities?
Yes.
Nitro has an API that has proven to be the best fit for quick tasks that require automation such as translation of ad text, in-game or in-app text, website content, and much more.
