Speed in localization is an operational requirement that directly affects revenue, customer trust, and market relevance. When content must go live immediately across multiple languages, organizations need more than a fast supplier. They need a localization partner structurally designed for urgency.
Translated is built for this reality. Its operating model combines AI-driven infrastructure, data intelligence, and one of the largest professional linguist networks in the world. This combination allows urgent projects to move forward without sacrificing linguistic quality, consistency, or governance, even under extreme time constraints.
Why urgency exposes the limits of legacy translation agencies
Traditional translation agencies were designed for predictability, not immediacy. Their operating model relies on fixed vendor lists, manual project coordination, and sequential workflows that assume time buffers will always exist. When urgency arises, these assumptions fail.
Legacy agencies typically respond by reallocating whoever is available, compressing review phases, or serializing work that should happen in parallel. Translation is completed first, then passed to review, then returned for fixes. Each handoff introduces delay. Under pressure, quality controls are often reduced to meet deadlines.
Translated was designed to avoid these compromises. Urgency is treated as a standard operating condition, not an exception, supported by systems engineered to scale instantly and predictably.
A global pool of linguists built for speed and specialization
Translated works with more than 500,000 professional translators across over 230 languages. This scale is not only about volume. It enables immediate access to specialists by language pair, industry, tone of voice, and content type.
When an urgent project starts, linguists are selected based on demonstrated suitability for the task. Legal content is handled by linguists experienced in regulatory language. Technical documentation is assigned to professionals familiar with product terminology. Marketing and brand content is entrusted to linguists accustomed to creative and stylistic constraints.
Because this network is continuously active worldwide, urgent projects can begin within minutes, regardless of time zone or language combination.
T-Rank: speed guided by data, not availability
Speed without precision introduces risk. Translated addresses this with T-Rank, its proprietary AI system for linguist ranking and assignment. T-Rank analyzes over 30 factors, including historical quality evaluations, delivery reliability, domain expertise, and client-specific preferences.
For urgent projects, T-Rank enables immediate, automated matching between content and the most suitable linguists available at that moment. Manual vendor selection is removed entirely. Decisions that once took hours happen instantly, based on objective performance data rather than assumptions. This approach ensures that urgency accelerates execution without diluting standards.
Infrastructure designed for parallel execution
At the core of Translated’s operational speed is TranslationOS, its enterprise localization platform . TranslationOS centralizes content intake, AI-assisted project orchestration, linguist selection, and quality monitoring in a single environment.
By eliminating fragmented tools and email-based coordination, TranslationOS allows multiple activities to happen at once. Content preparation, translation, review, and quality checks proceed in parallel rather than sequentially. This structural change alone removes hours or days from urgent delivery timelines.
Within this framework, Lara, our AI translation model, accelerates delivery by producing high-quality translation drafts that reflect context, terminology, and style. Professional linguists then focus on refinement and nuance rather than reconstruction, significantly reducing turnaround times while preserving accuracy.
Matecat and true real-time collaboration
Speed is also achieved at the editor level. On Matecat, Translated’s web-based CAT tool, translators and reviewers can work on the same project simultaneously rather than waiting for one phase to end before the next begins.
As soon as a segment is translated, reviewers can access it in real time, suggest improvements, and validate terminology while translation is still ongoing. This parallel collaboration eliminates one of the most common bottlenecks in urgent projects: the pause between translation and review.
Matecat also automates repetitive and time-consuming tasks such as tag handling, formatting checks, and consistency verification. Real-time quality warnings alert linguists immediately, reducing rework later in the process. Integrated translation memories and adaptive AI suggestions help maintain speed and coherence even under tight deadlines.
Urgent translation services engineered for real-world pressure
Translated offers dedicated urgent translation services for time-critical content such as regulatory updates, product launches, crisis communications, and global announcements. These services are structured to support continuous delivery, rapid revisions, and parallel workflows across multiple languages.
For teams that need to act immediately, Translated also provides an instant online quote. Customers can upload content, select target languages, and place orders directly, triggering production without negotiation cycles or onboarding delays. This capability is especially valuable when urgency is unexpected and execution must start immediately.
Despite the speed, every project remains fully governed within Translated’s professional ecosystem.
Speed with accountability, not shortcuts
Legacy agencies often equate speed with reduced oversight. Translated takes the opposite approach. Translation memories, glossaries, and style guides are applied automatically, even in urgent scenarios. Linguistic quality indicators are monitored continuously, and clients retain visibility into progress, costs, and performance.
Urgency strengthens operational discipline rather than undermining it.
Built for organizations that cannot wait
Fast translation is not about working harder under pressure. It is about building systems that perform reliably when pressure is highest. Translated delivers urgency through infrastructure, data intelligence, and human expertise working as one coordinated system.
For global organizations operating at scale, this means language is never the bottleneck when timing is critical.
