Translations Made Easy – with the Integreat Translation Package

One of the key features of the Integreat app is that information is provided in multiple languages. This ensures that all newly migrated individuals can understand the information that is important to them. However, translations can be expensive, and the budgets of cities and districts are limited. Therefore, Integreat municipalities have the option to quickly and easily have their texts machine-translated in the Integreat app. All cities and districts that have signed an Integreat contract are entitled to 50,000 words per year. If this isn’t enough, a paid translation package can be added.

What is the Integreat Translation Package?

The Integreat Translation Package offers cities and districts the opportunity to have up to one million words per year machine-translated in the Integreat content management system. Two providers are available for this service: DeepL, which supports 32 languages, and Google Translate, which provides translations in 133 languages.

The translation package currently costs €1,000 (gross) per year. This means the calculated price is only €0.001 per word. In contrast to human translation, which averages €0.10 per word, machine translation is 100 times cheaper.

To use machine translations in the content management system, the German source text must have a HIX value of at least 14. Further information on the use and requirements for machine translations can also be found in our Integreat online documentation.

Benefits of the Translation Package

Although machine translations still have some limitations in terms of quality and available languages, they offer significant advantages:

1. Efficiency and Speed: The translation package allows large volumes of text to be translated in a very short amount of time.
2. Cost Savings: Professional translations can be expensive. With the Integreat translation package, cities and districts receive an affordable alternative.
3. Flexibility: Whether for short-term announcements or long-term projects, the translation package offers the flexibility to translate content as needed.
4. Support from Proven Technologies: With Google Translate and DeepL, two of the most powerful translation tools are available. These technologies are continuously developed and provide increasingly accurate translations.
