[Ecohoon] IT Technology is Also Applied to Translation and Localization

One thing I've noticed since entering the translation industry is that many people seem to think of translation as too simple and easy. I often receive requests that simply send a document and ask for a quote and timeline.

That's understandable; if you just need a simple document translated, it might be. However, when translation is needed for our products, services, etc., it's not that simple.

• Translation data management using dedicated cloud platforms
• Terminology creation, application, and management within the cloud platform
• API integration
• Automation of ongoing project requests
• Combined service of AI machine translation and translator review

Language is therefore invaluable and cannot be quantified in monetary terms. Because language represents a nation, I hope that the importance of language will not be forgotten.
