Translations
Translation of answers to open-ended questions
The answers to open-ended questions submitted by participants in a survey are translated by one or several machine translation providers. We aim for the highest level of data confidentiality for all machine translations. Only mutually agreed sub-processors are involved in translating answers to open-ended questions.
Translation of custom questions
We collaborate with a partner agency to translate custom questions into other languages. Our users are welcome to proofread the translated results using our partner agency's online tool.
Effectory Support
We provide our online support pages in our three main languages: English, Dutch, and German. Users can select other languages using the automatic website translation tool. Moreover, our helpdesk support is available in English and Dutch.
Additional Information
Machine Translation providers
At Effectory, we choose machine translation providers based on several factors, such as the content type of the source, the content quality of the source, and the specific language pairing. Please note that the selection of providers may change over time as we constantly strive to enhance and improve the translation quality. Only mutually agreed sub-processors are involved in translating answers to open-ended questions.
Translation accuracy
Effectory cannot guarantee the translations’ quality and accuracy generated by (various forms of) machine translations. This is particularly relevant for the following scenarios:
- UI content of less used languages
- Answers to open-ended questions whose quality cannot be assessed
We are committed to delivering the most accurate translations possible. However, it is important to acknowledge that machine translation has its limitations. To ensure the highest quality, we are gradually implementing proofreaders for non-sensitive content (e.g., for UI text, not for answers to open-ended questions). In the first instance, this process focuses on our most important content types and languages. By incorporating proofreaders, we endeavor to enhance the translations' overall quality and accuracy.
