Technology Solutions

American Language Services (AML-Global) offers technologies that provide enhanced security, privacy protection, secured file transfer, and overall greater speed and efficiency. Each of our service areas has their own unique set of technical features as outlined below.

Key Security Features:

We utilize the latest in security and protection systems such as end-to-end encryption and custom built-in redundancies for our servers. We maintain the latest in anti-virus protection, Cloud backups, along with local daily, and weekly remote backups. We also have documentation protocol as outlined in our ISO 9001 & 12385 Quality Management System (QMS). This allows us to carefully monitor and upgrade our technology systems on a periodic basis.

Translations

AML-Global is proud to utilize industry-leading technology throughout our translation process. Our tools are vendor-neutral, allowing our clients to share content repositories within and outside their organization. We also wield a variety of software products that can ease localization in CMS and database environments.

Portal Solutions

Our portal System is a highly effective client tool. The proprietary system is easy to set up and is user friendly. This system allows for companies to securely transfer files, get new projects going quickly, and monitor the progress of projects in progress. It is great for companies who have multiple ordering sources, as well as several projects going simultaneously. One of the key features is the ability to set specific viewing permissions, so supervisors and management can see what the status is on a variety of projects and get a big picture overview. The permissions are a key feature the client selects so they can expand, or limit access as needed.

Translation Solutions Utilizing Machine Translations & Artificial Intelligence

We utilize a state-of-the-art system, that allows for seamless integration efforts between machine translations (MT) and artificial intelligence (AI) and human translators.

There have been many new and exciting innovations with AI and machine translation. However, this certainly is not new to us. We have always been ahead of the curve, and we continue to be at the forefront of technological Innovation. We recognize that skilled and experienced human translators have always been the key to producing high quality document translations. They will continue to be the key going forward.

We also have been early to embrace new technology which enhances productivity, increases the speed of production, can integrate into many systems, and reduces costs. This allows us to translate documents at high speed and is a great solution for our clients who may only need a good translation, rather than a perfect one, and get the gist of them quickly, to be able to evaluate, understand and to respond in a much timelier fashion.

CAT Tools

AML-Global utilizes Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tools to facilitate reuse of previously translated content. These tools help organize projects, shorten delivery timelines, improve translation consistency, and cut costs.

Translation Memory Software (TM)

Translation Memory Software is an important element of the translation process. This allows translators to accelerate translation speed while maintaining a high level of consistency and superior quality. This is critical when it is found that the same or similar content is being translated time and time again. These TM tools, such as SDL Trados Professional, Word Fast, and others, provide what is needed to edit and review high quality translations, manage projects, and keep terminology consistent in one comprehensive powerful solution.  They help translate faster and smarter while presenting a unified brand to the world.

We Utilize, SDL Trados Studio, which is a complete translation environment for language professionals who want to edit, review, and manage translation projects as well as incorporate preferential word choice and terminology.

HIPAA Compliance & File Transfer Software:

We are fully HIPAA Compliant which involves a variety of security, electronic storage, and end-to-end encryption as well as file transfer protocol.  We use multiple Share File programs which offer HIPAA conforming encryption for uploading and downloading files.

Translation Document Management System

We utilize a proprietary state-of-the-art document management system that maximizes flexibility and adaptability. Wherever your business is, now or in the future, you need technology partners that can meet and support you. We have replaced inflexible, generic document and email management tools with a highly effective cloud-based solution that simplifies key processes and ensures great results. For today’s hybrid work environments, one way we’ve made remote workers more productive is by giving them secure, local access to every file and document they need, regardless of internet connection.

Voiceover & Dubbing

In a voiceover, the source material can be heard beneath the newly-implemented audio. This is often referred to as ‘ducking’ a source. Dubbing, meanwhile, is the complete replacement of one audio source with another.

Our recording studio features:

  • Digi Design and Shure KSM27 Microphones: These produce crisp, clear voiceovers.
  • Preamps with Onboard Effect Processors: Without these, our videos would be flat and lifeless.
  • Pro Tools Platinum: This is the industry standard digital recording platform.
  • Whisper Room Isolation Booths: These guarantee clear recordings.

All productions are supervised and engineered by industry professionals.
