Language Roadmap

Starts trilingual, scales to any language

The English-pivot architecture is language-agnostic: adding a language means adding a target column, not reworking the pipeline.

Today

ZH · EN · AR

Chinese, English, Arabic (MSA) with English as the pivot and a script-enforced glossary.

Next wave

Turkish · Persian · more

Turkic and Middle-Eastern languages follow the same EN-anchored glossary pipeline.

Long-term

Any target market

Each new language inherits the auditable two-gate quality model.

Why Us

Five reasons the deliverable can be checked

A translation you can verify beats a translation you must trust.

01

English pivot, fully auditable

CN↔AR is never a blind jump. The EN middle state means any error can be located by eye or by a third party.

02

Terminology enforced by script

A machine-checked glossary keeps one EN anchor mapped to one AR rendering across the whole document.

03

Dual quality gates

Machine check (FAIL never ships) plus a signed human verdict with every open item explicitly declared.

04

Honest boundaries

We promise terminology consistency against the current glossary — not zero errors. Native-speaker review is offered as a paid option.

05

Compliance-sensitive by design

Hard rules for religious wording, obligation register (shall / shall not), and Western numerals + Gregorian dates in RTL text.

Deliverable Format

What you receive, in order

Every job ships as a 4-part deliverable with two check tables attached.

1. Source — 2. EN middle state (mandatory for CN↔AR) — 3. Target translation (glossary-bound) — 4. NOTE list: ambiguity, new terms, calendar assumptions, religious wording.

Attached: terminology hit report (coverage + compliance from script), machine check table, and a signed human verdict table (gender, register, religious wording, native review).

四段式交付：源文 → EN 中间态（中阿必含）→ 译文（术语表强制）→ NOTE（歧义/新词/历法/宗教用语逐条列出）。附术语命中报告、机器校验表、人工判定表（署名）。

G1

Machine gate

Terminology / proper nouns / numeral system / Latin residue / hygiene. FAIL does not ship.

G2

Human gate

Signed verdict with "undecided" declared explicitly where a reviewer did not rule.

FAQ

Questions we are asked

No provider can promise zero errors. We promise terminology consistency plus auditable delivery; for critical texts we recommend adding native-speaker review.

We currently commit to Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) only. Colloquial assets are under construction and will be announced when open.

Western numerals and the Gregorian calendar by default in commercial letters and contracts; Hijri annotations added on official filings when required.

Yes — with the obligation register hard rule. The Arabic version is not a standalone legal basis; the English version prevails.

CN↔AR jobs pass through a mandatory EN middle state that is delivered to you, so both ends can be checked against one anchor.

The pipeline is glossary-bound and machine-checked; final Arabic is reviewed by a native speaker as an optional, separately priced gate.

Turkish and Persian are next in the roadmap; the EN-pivot architecture makes each new language an additive column, not a rework.

No. Client documents are never used for model training. On-premise deployment is on the roadmap and disclosed when it becomes available.
