AI translation services combine neural machine translation with human post-editing to move large volumes of content into another language at a fraction of the cost and turnaround of full human translation. Sim Trans runs artificial intelligence translation for companies across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, covering product catalogues, websites, training modules and internal documentation across 750+ language pairs.
What separates a usable AI language translation workflow from a risky one is the post-editing step. Your glossary and translation memory are applied first, then a qualified linguist reviews every file.
One hard line: AI output is not accepted where a Ministry of Justice sworn translator, MOFA attestation, or a UAE Courts, RTA or immigration submission is required. Those go through our certified legal translation [URL: Certified Legal Translation] workflow.
Cutting much further starts costing you things that earn their place here: the concrete failure examples that made the post-editing argument persuasive, and the named Arabic and English pairing. Tell me if you want it tighter anyway.
Sim Trans did not start as a technology company. We spent two decades translating contracts, court bundles and corporate records for UAE clients before any of this was commercially viable, and that is exactly why our use of AI for translation is narrow and deliberate. We select the engine by language pair and subject matter rather than running everything through one general-purpose AI translation software, then hand the output to a linguist who works in that field. The technology speeds up the first draft. The judgement about whether a sentence is right stays with a person.
Sim Trans covers the full range of AI powered translation delivery, from bulk document work to live event captioning. Each option below carries a different level of human review, because a support article and a pharmaceutical brochure do not need the same treatment. Pick the level that matches your content, or send a sample file and a coordinator will recommend one.
The core service. Neural machine translation followed by a qualified linguist working to ISO 18587. Choose light post-editing, where the target is accurate and readable output for internal use, or full post-editing, where the result is indistinguishable from human translation and ready to publish.
AI document translation for large sets: product catalogues, technical manuals, datasheets, HR handbooks, policy libraries and archived reports. Formatting, tables and numbering are preserved, so a 400-page manual comes back laid out as it went in rather than as a wall of text.
Continuous localization for corporate sites, e-commerce catalogues, apps and support centres. We work directly with CMS exports and string files, handle Arabic right-to-left layout properly, and re-translate only what changed when you push an update.
Your glossary, style guide and translation memory are applied to the engine output before post-editing begins. Product names, legal entity names and technical terms come back consistent across every file and every batch, which is the single biggest quality gap in unmanaged AI based translation.
AI video translation for training libraries, corporate announcements and conference recordings. Automated transcription and timing, linguist-reviewed AI subtitles translation, delivered as burned-in video or sidecar SRT and VTT files. More detail on our subtitling services.
Real-time AI simultaneous interpretation and live captioning for internal town halls, webinars and lower-stakes sessions where budget matters more than nuance. For court hearings, negotiations and anything on record, book a human from our interpretation services roster instead
Powers of attorney, memoranda of association, court filings, driving licences, academic certificates and anything heading for MOFA attestation [URL: MOFA Attestation]. These need a Ministry of Justice sworn translator and a certification stamp. We route them there rather than letting an engine near them.

Sim Trans post-edits AI translation at volume for UAE companies. ISO 18587 certified, human reviewed, one coordinator from quote to delivery
ISO 18587 is the international standard written specifically for post-editing machine translation output. It defines what a post-editor must be qualified to do and what the finished file has to meet. Most vendors offering AI translation in this market cannot show certification against it.
Arabic and English run daily in-house. Beyond that, our AI for language translation covers 750+ pairs including Mandarin, Russian, Hindi, Urdu, Tagalog, French, German and Spanish, with engine selection and post-editor assignment matched to each pair rather than applied uniformly.
Files are processed inside a controlled environment, not pasted into consumer chatbots or free browser translators where the content can be retained for model training. NDAs are signed on request, access is limited to the assigned linguist, and retention periods are agreed before the project starts.
A vendor that says yes to every file will happily sell you post-edited output for a document the Dubai Courts will reject. We check the destination authority first. If it needs a sworn translator or MOFA attestation, we say so at the quote stage, before the invoice.
Most companies trying AI for translation on their own hit the same three walls. The terminology drifts between batches. Nobody internally is qualified to judge whether the Arabic is actually right. And somewhere in the pipeline a document that legally required a certified translator went out as machine output. Sim Trans closes all three. Your glossary is enforced at the engine level, a qualified linguist signs off every file, and a coordinator checks the regulatory route before work starts. You get the cost and speed advantage of AI without carrying the risk of it alone.

AI translation services use neural machine translation engines to produce a first draft, which a qualified human linguist then reviews and corrects. The combination is known as machine translation post-editing. It delivers large volumes faster and cheaper than full human translation, while keeping a person accountable for accuracy
For internal reports, product catalogues, support content and training material, post-edited AI translation is accurate enough and widely used. For contracts, regulatory submissions and anything with legal consequence, raw machine output is not safe. The deciding factor is whether a qualified linguist reviews the file before it is used.
There is no single best AI for translation. Engine performance varies sharply by language pair and subject matter, and the best AI translation tools for English to Spanish marketing copy are rarely the strongest on English to Arabic legal text. Sim Trans selects the engine per project rather than defaulting to one.
Free AI translation tools are acceptable for understanding an incoming email. They are a poor choice for company content, because many retain what you submit, none apply your terminology, and nobody is accountable for errors. Confidential material should never be pasted into a public AI translate tool.
AI translation produces output in seconds by predicting likely renderings from training data. Human translation is slower and costlier, but a qualified translator understands context, legal effect and audience. Post-editing sits between the two: engine speed, human judgement, at roughly half the cost of full human translation.
No. Documents submitted to the Ministry of Justice, MOFA, UAE Courts, the RTA or immigration authorities require certified translation by a sworn translator, with a stamp and certification statement. AI output cannot carry that certification, whatever post-editing has been applied to it.
Machine translation post-editing is the process of a qualified linguist reviewing and correcting AI output against the source text. Light post-editing targets accurate, readable content for internal use. Full post-editing produces publication-ready text matching human translation quality, and follows the ISO 18587 standard.
Post-edited AI translation is typically priced per word and usually costs less than full human translation, with the exact rate depending on language pair, subject matter, post-editing level and volume. Sim Trans quotes a fixed per-word rate after reviewing a sample, with no charges added afterwards.
Arabic remains one of the harder pairs for AI translation software, because of dialect variation, right-to-left formatting and grammatical gender. Engines that score well on European languages often underperform on it, and there is no single best AI language translator for Arabic. This is the pair where human post-editing changes the result most, whichever language translation AI produced the draft.
Yes. Companies routinely use AI to translate video content: an AI video translator transcribes the audio, generates timed subtitles and translates them into the target language. Accuracy depends heavily on audio quality, accents and background noise, so video translation AI output should be reviewed by a linguist before the file is published or distributed.
AI simultaneous interpretation works reasonably for internal webinars and town halls where an occasional error is tolerable. It is not suitable for court hearings, arbitration, medical consultations or contract negotiations, where a mistranslated sentence carries consequences and a Ministry of Justice recognised human interpreter is required.
The engine translates a 50,000-word document in minutes. Post-editing is what sets the real timeline, typically 4,000 to 6,000 words per linguist per day for full post-editing and faster for light. A coordinator confirms the delivery window when quoting, and can split large batches across several post-editors.
