How MotaWord Matches 26,000+ Translators to Every Project

A translation is only as good as the people who work on it. So the question that matters is not how many translators a company has, but how it picks the right ones for your document. MotaWord's platform is built around that question.

Here is how we put 26,000+ professional translators to work for each customer: how we match them to your document, how several of them can work on one file at once, and how the result is checked before you receive it.

Your files stay protected the whole way. MotaWord is SOC 2 Type II certified. Every translator signs an NDA, and our platform is HIPAA compliant for medical records. See how our HIPAA-compliant process protects sensitive records.

One Platform, 26,000+ Professional Translators

MotaWord has a team of 26,000+ translators available to work on your translation, covering 120+ languages. They do not receive files by email. They work on MotaWord's cloud-based platform, so every project follows the same secure, trackable process wherever the translators are. Find out where MotaWord translators work.

Before translators can take a job, they complete our onboarding course on the platform. After that, they are invited only to projects in the language pairs they work in. Our community managers oversee projects and the translator community every day, so a large team stays organized and nobody works outside the languages they know.

How We Match Translators to Your Document

A large team only helps you if the right people from it work on your file. Translators are matched by language pair and subject knowledge:

• Language Pair: Your document goes to translators who work in your exact language combination, for example Spanish into English or English into Korean.
• Subject Knowledge: Within that language pair, we look for translators who know the field your document comes from.

A hospital discharge summary goes to translators with medical knowledge, who know how diagnoses, medication names and dosages are written in both languages. See how our medical translators handle patient records and clinical documents.

A court order needs translators who know legal terminology, and a birth certificate needs translators familiar with civil registry records, where every name and registry number has to match the original.

Several Translators, One Document

In a traditional workflow, one translator works through a file from the first page to the last. MotaWord's collaborative platform lets several translators work on your document at the same time. See how our collaborative translation model works.

That is why long files, such as a 40-page contract or a full set of court filings, do not wait in a queue behind one person. See how we translate legal documents.

Working together does not mean working inconsistently. Every translator on a project works from the same glossary and translation memory, so names, product terms and legal phrases are translated the same way on page 1 and page 40.

Quality Checks Built Into Every Order

Matching the right translators is the first step. Checking their work is the second. Professional translation at MotaWord includes editing and proofreading by separate linguists, so your translation is reviewed before it is delivered, not after you find a problem.

MotaWord combines professional translators with AI tools on one collaborative platform, and our translators stay in charge of the result:

• Consistent Terminology: Glossaries and translation memory keep your brand, product and legal terms consistent across every file you send us.
• Editing and Proofreading Included: Every professional translation is reviewed for accuracy, terminology and completeness.
• Fast Delivery and Free Revisions: Delivery in as little as 12 hours and free revisions.

Certified Translations for USCIS, Courts and Universities

Immigration filings, court cases and university applications usually ask for more than an accurate translation: they ask for a certified translation. Every certified translation from MotaWord carries a signed certificate of accuracy that USCIS and other institutions accept, plus free digital notarization. We have a 100% USCIS acceptance rate. Get your certified translation for USCIS.

When you order with MotaWord, your translation matches your document line for line: every name, date, stamp and seal is translated, so nothing is left for an officer to question. If you are preparing an immigration file for the first time, start with what USCIS expects from a translated document. Read everything you need to know about certified translations for USCIS.

Security Behind Every Assignment

A large translator team only works if every member follows the same security rules. Our translators sign an NDA to be able to work on our platform, and our platform's security is attested to by our SOC 2 Type II certification. Learn what our SOC 2 Type II certification means for your files.

• Encrypted Platform, No Email: Translators work on your document inside MotaWord's platform through encrypted connections, not over email.
• Health Information: Our platform is HIPAA compliant, so medical records are handled with the same care as any patient file.
