Translating with the Crowd

Crowd Sourcing

When a freelancer like me gets a long-drawn-out translation job from a client with a cockeyed deadline, it gets impossible for me or for any other freelance translator to finish the job on his own and on time. So what’s the solution? How can you get rid of the ticking time bomb and finish the job at the expected time? The solution is crowdsourcing! Crowdsourcing companies throw up translation challenges, to a wide range of people that handle certain parts of the translation work. CrowdThinkTank first employs the power of the crowd to get the job done and then checks every word on a machine based translator. If need be, it also uses the power of crowd for polishing the text, checking facts and to get rid of any insignificant combinations of words &/or sequences. Freelance translation services offered through online collaboration makes it easier to manage any large team projects when compared to other traditional approaches.
