What is Automatic Translations?
Automatic Translations is a feature in Recollective that leverages AI to automatically translate study content and participant responses in real time. This eliminates the need for external translation services, significantly reducing costs, streamlining workflows and optimizing research processes—all included as standard.
The Challenge of Multilingual Research
Traditionally, conducting research across multiple languages has been a complex and costly endeavor. Researchers have had to rely on third-party translation services, coordinate local moderators and manually translate study materials—factors that not only slowed down projects but also drove up costs and budget uncertainty.
Common challenges include:
- Time Delays: Manually translating study guides and participant responses significantly prolongs study timelines.
- High Costs: Employing professional translators and moderators for multiple languages is costly with unpredictable expenses depending on the study's outcomes.
- Low Cohesion: The involvement of multiple moderators or local translators can lead to inconsistencies and delays making it difficult to identify overarching themes in the research.
- Stakeholder Barriers: Clients who don’t speak the primary language of the study may struggle to follow along as the study runs.
With Automatic Translations, these challenges are now a thing of the past.
