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. This process is managed using Straker's proprietary "RAY Translation Platform", which has been developed over eight years and is an enterprise grade, end-to-end, cloud-based platform. By leveraging machine translation and its big data assets, the RAY Translation Platform enables the delivery of faster and more accurate translations, lowering the time and cost to deliver versus traditional translation services.
