Tomedes’ reputation for quality lives and dies by the quality of our translators. As such, we have rigorous systems in place to ensure that we recruit and retain outstanding linguists who can deliver at the level required to meet our and our clients’ expectations.
How we recruit translators
We recruit translators from around the world in order to build up a vast network of language pairings and skills. We use native speakers of the target language when we translate clients’ documents, so we need a wide range of language pairings to be available in our network. We also match our clients’ jobs to our translators’ skills, to make sure that each client benefits from sector-specific knowledge.
As such, our recruitment process doesn’t just assess each translator based on their linguistic ability, but also on the breadth of their experience and any specialist knowledge that they can demonstrate. We then award each job to the translator that most closely meets the requirements for that particular piece of work, in order to maintain our high quality standards at all times.
Network of expert translators
We keep tabs on where our translators live in order to ensure that they are assigned work that meets their local environment. This means that a translation into English could be assigned to a translator living in the UK, the USA, Canada or Australia, depending on which version of English suited the client’s needs. It’s our way of ensuring that our translators keep up to speed with local language developments from new vocabulary to evolving word usage.
In addition, our focus on expertise means that we have a host of legal translation experts, medical translation professionals, marketing translation gurus and more in our network. We take this experience into account when assigning every translation job, so that each of our clients can benefit from the services of a translator with specialist skills that are specifically suited to that client’s documents.

Useful content for Translators
Google DeepMind just shipped the first consumer sign language AI. Even Google says it shouldn't replace a qualified interpreter in high-stakes settings. Here's why.
Google DeepMind just shipped the first sign language AI in a real consumer product. Google's own release notes say it shouldn't replace a qualified interpreter in high-stakes settings. That's worth taking seriously.
Search interest in Article 50 quadrupled the week it took effect. Here's what it requires when the AI-generated content is a translation.
Search interest in Article 50 quadrupled the week it became enforceable. Almost nobody writing about it has looked at what it means specifically for translated text.
An AI model can draft a translation in seconds. What happens after that, one quick check or several rounds of revision, depends heavily on what's being translated. We looked at our own project data and the research behind post-editing effort to find out why.
Some AI-drafted translations are approved in a single pass. Others go through several rounds of vendor work spread across days before they ship. We looked at a year of Tomedes' own AI-assisted (MTPE) projects, and the difference isn't random: it lines up closely with content type.
