Can someone check my ChatGPT translation?

Yes. Send us your original document and the translation you made with ChatGPT, DeepL, Google Translate or any other AI tool. A qualified, experienced translator compares the two sentence by sentence, corrects the errors and returns your translation with every change marked.

It costs from £80 per 1,000 words plus VAT, with a £25 minimum charge, and short documents are usually ready in 1 to 2 working days. ISO 18587 is the international standard for full human checking and correction of machine translation, and we are certified to it.

2

We confirm a fixed price and turnaround. Nothing starts until you approve.

Checked to ISO 18587

We are one of relatively few UK companies certified to the international standard for checking and correcting machine translation.

What ISO 18587 means

Translators who know your subject

Every check is done by a qualified, experienced native speaker who knows your subject, whether legal, medical, technical or business. Never just a bilingual speaker.

From £80 per 1,000 words

Plus VAT, £25 minimum. The rate depends on the language, not on how good your AI version is. Volume and new-customer discounts are confirmed in your quote.

Fixed price, quick turnaround

We confirm the price and turnaround before you commit. Short documents are usually ready in 1 to 2 working days.

“We had an urgent job come up and needed to have a legal document proofread. Absolute Translations provided us with what was needed, i.e., proofreading, document showing all changes together with a clean version of the text. Our lawyer was very satisfied with this.”

Anna Peters

“We had very quick responses and good turnaround from sending the document to getting final translations. All queries were promptly addressed and quality was good.”

Is a ChatGPT or Claude translation good enough to send?

Sometimes it is close. But AI tools can still change the meaning, misread a specialist term, drop a sentence, add words that are not in the original, or get a name, number or date wrong. These mistakes are hard to spot unless you read both languages well.

What do we check in your AI translation?

The meaning, sentence by sentence, against your original
Names, numbers, dates and amounts
Specialist and technical terms
Grammar, spelling, punctuation and formatting
Tone, so it reads naturally to the person receiving it
Anything the AI added or left out

Our AI translation checker service returns your corrected translation, with every change marked, so you can see exactly what we changed before you send it. If your text would be better translated again from scratch, for example highly creative, legal-critical or safety-critical material, we will tell you honestly before you commit.

ISO 18587 certified: post-editing of machine translation output

ISO 18587 is the international standard for full human checking and correction of machine translation. It sets requirements for how a person checks and corrects text produced by a translation tool, and for the skills of the person doing it.

What this means for your AI translation:

Every sentence is checked against your original, not skimmed or spot-checked.
The person checking is a qualified, experienced translator with the skills the standard requires.
Meaning, terminology, grammar and tone are corrected to a standard you can send or publish.
We are one of relatively few UK companies certified to it.

As ATC and EUATC members, we prioritise your satisfaction by upholding the highest standards in business ethics and translation quality.

Our human-led AI translation checker service starts from £80 per 1,000 words plus VAT, with a £25 minimum charge. The rate depends on the language, not on how good your AI translation is, and we confirm a fixed price and turnaround before you commit.

Larger jobs can qualify for volume discounts, and new customers can qualify for an introductory discount of 5% to 15%. Discounts are confirmed in your quote rather than applied automatically.

Why not the proofreading rate? Proofreading a translation done by a person starts from £40 per 1,000 words, but an AI translation has to be checked against the original, sentence by sentence, so it is priced at £80. Full details are on our proofreading and post-editing prices page.

In the translation industry this service is called post-editing, or MTPE. If you translate large volumes with machine translation, see our machine translation post-editing for larger volumes.

Any of them, including ChatGPT, DeepL, Google Translate, Microsoft Translator, Gemini and Claude. The tool does not change how we work: a qualified translator compares your AI version with the original, sentence by sentence. When you ask for a quote, choose “AI translation” where the form asks how the document was translated.

A qualified, experienced translator who is a native speaker, never just a bilingual speaker, and who knows the subject of your document. ISO 18587, which we are certified to, also sets requirements for the skills of the person doing the check.

Yes. We check your AI translation against the original, so we need both files. When we reply to your quote request, simply email us both. If you only have the original, we can translate it for you instead.

It can be a starting point, but a contract should not rely on it unchecked, because one wrong word can change an obligation, a date or an amount. Send us both versions and we will tell you before you commit whether a check is enough, or whether a fresh legal translation is the safer route.

No. We do not certify AI translations, even after checking them. For UK authorities, such as the Home Office or a court, we provide a new certified translation by one of our translators, from £29 a page including certification and VAT.

Yes. We are ISO 27001 certified, with independently assessed information security systems, and both your original and your AI version are treated as strictly confidential. We are also fully GDPR compliant.
