Revolutionizing Presentation Translations with AI Hybrid Solutions

In the ever-expanding landscape of global business, effective communication across languages has become more crucial than ever, especially for materials presented in PowerPoint. Responding to the escalating demand for translation services tailored for corporate meetings and training, Simul International is set to introduce its cutting-edge Presentation AI Translation Service in February 2026. This new offering aims to break traditional barriers by merging advanced AI technology with the expertise of professional translators, thus delivering high-quality translations while significantly reducing turnaround times.

The Power of Hybrid Technology

This service harnesses the power of renowned AI engines, including ChatGPT and Gemini, along with the unique AI translation engine ErudAite, developed by the esteemed Takara & Co. group. With such an innovative approach, Simul International seeks to tackle the prevalent challenges posed by conventional translation services.

Identifying the Challenges

Despite the advancements in translation technology, businesses have faced three main obstacles:
1. Lengthy Turnaround Times: Traditional translation processes often demand considerable time for translation and layout adjustments, making it challenging to accommodate urgent business needs.
2. Heavy Workload: Post-translation, the effort required to adjust slide layouts can overwhelm many teams.
3. Balancing Quality and Speed: While AI and machine translations excel in speed, their quality often raises concerns. Conversely, human translations guarantee high standards but come with significant limitations regarding time and cost.

Simul's Presentation AI Translation Service is designed to empower businesses by addressing these challenges through a unique blend of decades of translation experience and cutting-edge AI capabilities. With established quality checks conducted by professional translators, this new corporate translation service ensures an unprecedented mix of speed and accuracy.

Key Features of the Service

1. Dramatic Reduction in Turnaround Time:
- The service promises to shorten delivery times to a staggering one-tenth of the previous standard. For example, translating a set of 40 slides can now be completed within a single business day.

2. Quality Combined with Efficiency:
- The service merges AI translation capabilities for swift processing with human oversight to check for numerical accuracy and ensure no translations are overlooked. The fusion of these elements enables consistent quality management based on extensive industry knowledge.

3. Specialized Layout Adjustments:
- Beyond translation, the service also focuses on adjusting layouts specific to PowerPoint, ensuring that the end product is not only translated but also formatted for optimum readability, greatly alleviating the workload for clients.
