What to watch out for

Cheap machine translation keeps pressure on prices.

A way to start this week

  1. Pick one specialist area you understand (law, medicine, tourism, software).
  2. Translate a short public text with an AI draft, then edit it by hand and keep both versions.
  3. Offer a small paid sample to businesses in that area and show the edited result next to the raw machine draft.
