The Translation Prep Bottleneck

If you’re a translator or agency owner, you know this pain: you spend more time preparing files for translation than actually translating. Copy-pasting from PDFs, cleaning up HTML, fixing broken segments – it’s the unsexy work that eats up half your day and kills your productivity.

Common workflow killers:

  • Manual text extraction
  • Format chaos
  • Tag nightmares
  • Broken segments
  • Lost context
  • Reference hunting
