Straker's cloud-based platform manages the end-to-end translation process, leveraging machine translation technology (comprising both third-party owned engines and engines within Straker's platform) to create a first draft translation and subsequently matching the customer's content with one or more of the approximately 13,000 crowd-sourced human freelance translators for refinement.
