LSP Founder María Paz Valente Believes the Language Industry Offers Endless Possibilities

María Paz Valente is the CEO and owner of Traducir·e Translation Services, a small language service provider (LSP) in Buenos Aires. Here, she discusses what 20 years of experience in the language industry has taught her about creativity, resilience, and embracing change.

Why do you enjoy reading MultiLingual magazine?

MultiLingual magazine has been an invaluable resource for staying up-to-date with the industry’s evolution. Its articles on emerging technologies, such as AI-driven solutions, are particularly inspiring. These insights help me adapt our strategies to offer cutting-edge solutions while keeping the human touch intact. In our industry, staying informed isn’t just useful — it’s essential.

How did you get involved in the translation business?

My journey started at a young age, driven by my mother’s determination for me to learn English. It was my teacher, Susana, who sparked a deep love for the language and planted the seed of my dream to become a translator. For me, learning English was never just about mastering a language — it was about unlocking opportunities and discovering the world beyond my small town.

Years later, after earning my degree in translation, I moved to New Zealand and worked at a translation agency. That experience deepened my understanding of the business, and I completely fell in love with the industry. Fast forward to today, and I’m leading Traducir·e, where we bring that same passion and commitment to each project.

Since you entered the translation industry, how has the business landscape changed?

Over the past 20 years, the industry has transformed dramatically. When I started, manual translation was the norm, and tools like Trados felt groundbreaking. I still remember my Legal Translation professor introducing it to us.

Now, artificial intelligence (AI), machine translation (MT), and neural networks have reshaped the landscape. Speed and accuracy are paramount, and clients expect more than translations. Creativity, quality, and context have become central to our work. It’s a challenging but exciting time to be in this industry.

Could you share your experience working with your first client or on your first project?

I started freelancing immediately after earning my degree. At the time, I was working at a legal office, and their clients became my first clients. My first project was a sworn translation for a large multinational, and I must’ve reviewed it at least 10 times — it was nerve-wracking but worth it! That client remains one of our main partners today, so I guess I didn’t do too bad. This experience taught me the importance of precision and trust, which remain pillars of our work.

Do you believe it’s a good time to enter the translation business?

The localization industry is both challenging and full of opportunities. Embracing new technologies, like AI, is crucial — but so is understanding that these tools enhance, but don’t replace, human expertise.

I remember my teacher warning us that computer-assisted technology (CAT) tools would take our jobs. It didn’t happen then, and it won’t happen now with AI. Instead, the need for cultural sensitivity, creativity, and expert judgment is stronger than ever. If you love languages and are willing to adapt and innovate, this industry offers endless possibilities.

Where do you see yourself professionally in the next 10 years?

That’s a tough one! My passion for languages and this industry has only grown stronger over the years. For me, happiness and fulfillment are key, so I see myself continuing to lead my company, building stronger connections within the industry, and advocating for cultural sensitivity in global communication.

What predictions do you have for the future of the translation industry?

The future lies in the perfect synergy between technology and human expertise. While AI will continue to revolutionize the way we work, human translators will remain irreplaceable, particularly for creative and high-stakes projects. To stay relevant, it’s about balancing innovation with timeless principles like cultural sensitivity and context. Change is constant in this industry, and the key is to adapt, collaborate, and embrace it.

The YES Network, America’s pre-eminent regional sports network and regional home of the 27-time World Series champion New York Yankees and the Brooklyn Nets, and CAMB.AI, a global company that enables seamless multilingual communication, have agreed to explore strategic initiatives to use artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the fan experience.

This marks the first time that CAMB.AI is teaming up with a U.S. sports television network to explore business opportunities. It follows the company’s successful partnerships with some of the most innovative sports leagues in the world, including Major League Soccer and NASCAR, to break down language barriers and reach more fans through applications of as AI-powered multilingual translation that preserves the emotion, tone and inflections specific to athletes and announcers in order to maintain nuance and cultural context.

The YES Network has been a market leader in seeking out and implementing new methods of customizing and personalizing the delivery of its award-winning content to enhance the viewer experience. This includes the popular Live Stats and Pick-N-Play Live features on The Gotham Sports App.

“Tapping into the expertise that CAMB.AI has built by working with leading sports and media companies to incorporate AI into their localization strategies underscores YES’ commitment to explore new opportunities to serve our fans and making sports content more accessible and relatable,” said Jon Litner, President & CEO, YES Network.

InterpretBank Named “Tech of the Week” by Nimdzi Insights

InterpretBank, a computer-assisted interpreting (CAI) platform, has been named “Tech of the Week” by Nimdzi Insights. This recognition celebrates the recent release of InterpretBank ASR 3.0, a major milestone in AI-driven support for professional interpreters.

InterpretBank is a leading CAI software built to support both preparation and live interpreting (consecutive and simultaneous). The tool offers robust glossary management, smart-term lookup, and AI-enabled productivity tools.

According to Dr. Claudio Fantinuoli, founder of InterpretBank, ASR 3.0 represents a long-gestating, carefully refined upgrade — not just in feature set, but in usability and performance. Behind the new minimalist interface lies advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) and two ASR engines: one offering solid quality with no usage cap, and another providing accuracy, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance, and usage-based pricing.

Key features include:

Real-time translation support, letting interpreters select and translate any portion of the live ASR transcript on the fly.
Glossary integration, which automatically links recognized speech to the interpreter’s curated terminology, enabling immediate lookup and translation. The system can retrieve glossary terms even when they appear in inflected forms: singular or plural, different tenses, etc. The engine finds the right match from the user’s glossaries. This happens server-side, through real-time syntactic and part-of-speech analysis.
Number and named entity highlighting, ensuring that interpreters instantly see critical numerical data and proper names.

The tool is available in both Freelance and Enterprise editions, with flexible subscription or perpetual license models.

“InterpretBank ASR 3.0 grew from a simple yet ambitious goal: to empower professional interpreters by enhancing their expertise with speech recognition and real-time suggestions. With the latest release, we are finally proud to offer a robust, flexible, and customizable real-time assistant, designed on the basis of research and the involvement of interpreters,” said Dr. Claudio Fantinuoli, reflecting on the journey to ASR 3.0.

The “Tech of the Week” distinction underscores InterpretBank’s leadership in merging speech recognition with professional interpreting workflows. By embedding ASR deeply into the interpreting process, InterpretBank helps reduce cognitive load, improve accuracy, and boost efficiency — especially in high-stakes, terminology-rich interpreting environments.

This week’s stories explore expansion, integration, and introspection across the language industry. From TransPerfect’s new office in Riyadh to LocWorld’s reflections on the future of artificial intelligence (AI), the sector continues to scale while questioning its foundations. Here are six standout developments from the week.

Globalization and Collaboration

TransPerfect has launched operations in Riyadh, marking its first office in Saudi Arabia and expanding its presence across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The move aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 initiative and reflects growing demand for language, AI, e-learning, and legal tech solutions in the region. The Middle East’s tri-core economy — spanning Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar — is a key growth area for digital innovation.

memoQ and Voiseed have partnered to enhance text-to-voice workflows by integrating their technologies. The collaboration aims to streamline multilingual content creation by combining memoQ’s translation management with Voiseed’s expressive speech synthesis. This integration supports more dynamic voice localization across different industries, particularly for the gaming industry.

CAMB.AI has teamed up with Broadcom to bring real-time edge AI localization to home entertainment systems. The collaboration leverages CAMBA.AI’s text-to-speech translation capabilities with Broadcom’s set-top box technology to deliver multilingual content directly to consumers. The solution is designed to enhance accessibility and personalization in media consumption all while addressing growing concerns for data privacy and compliance.

Translated announced that Lara, its translation AI, now supports 200 languages. The company also released a new reasoning model, Lara Think, further improving translation quality. Lara combines linguistic knowledge with contextual reasoning to deliver more accurate and culturally aware translations, strengthening organization’s ability to operate within underrepresented yet fast-growing markets. The release of Lara Think will allow businesses to increase their go-to-market speed by delivering high-speed translation results. Both Lara and Lara Think aim to streamline business workflows by bridging gaps in nuance, intent, and low-resource languages.

Language and Community

Centific was recognized by Nimdzi Insights for its multilingual AI powered by the Centific Flow application and the company’s frontier AI data foundry platform, which together help organizations scale smarter adaptive multilingual AI globally. Flow enables enterprises to automate translation, manage linguistic quality, and maintain brand voice across markets. The frontier AI data foundry platform provides the structured, compliant, and multilingual data foundation that powers Flow’s adaptive automation. The recognition underscores its achievements in generative AI applications.

LocWorld54 returned to Monterey with a focus on the future of localization and the role of AI. Keynote speaker Rika Nakazawa explored the concept of organic intelligence and its use within AI, while the Process Innovation Challenge (PIC) spotlighted emerging large language models (LLMs) for African languages and terminology augmentation. The event began with a LocWalk & Talk, featured sessions from major tech companies, and closed with an after-dinner party.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

From regional expansion to reasoning models like Lara Think, this week’s stories reflect an industry balancing ambition with accountability. TransPerfect’s move into Saudi Arabia and Centific’s multilingual AI platform show how global infrastructure is scaling to meet new demands. Meanwhile, integrations from memoQ, Voiseed, and CAMB.AI demonstrate how voice, video, and edge AI are reshaping how language is delivered in real time. As AI integrations deepen and localization tools evolve, the sector is being asked to think beyond automation — to design with nuance, scale with care, and prepare for what’s next.
