Apertera provides Enhanced Machine Translation through a proprietary SAAS called Yappn Technology System (YTS) that localizes websites, customer care, and social media posts into 100+ languages. The system combines advanced machine translation with human post-editing to deliver more accurate and contextually correct translations. It integrates with client platforms, enabling implementation in a few weeks via existing integration points. Compared to typical MT offerings, Apertera emphasizes higher-quality translations and a post-edited workflow, helping clients grow by reaching new markets and better serving customers who prefer languages other than English. The company's goal is to help businesses communicate, conduct commerce, and engage socially across language barriers.
