About Straker Translations Limited
Based in New Zealand and founded in 1999, Straker has established itself as a leading global technology driven translation services platform. Straker has developed a hybrid translation platform that utilises a combination of machine translation and a crowd-sourced pool of freelance translators.
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.
The platform can be integrated directly into customers’ systems and consists of a customer dashboard, machine translation integration and modules for assisting and managing translators.
