## The standards professionals expect from translation have not yet been met
With the spread of free AI translation tools, anyone can now easily "read" foreign language texts. However, professionals working at the forefront of business demand a higher standard for translation.
- Investment officers at trading companies want to translate due diligence materials exceeding 100 pages and send them directly to overseas partners.
- Lawyers and patent attorneys want to accurately translate technical terms in contracts and patent specifications to create documents free of legal risks.
- Healthcare professionals want to understand medical papers and clinical trial reports with accurate, contextually appropriate expressions.
- Researchers want to translate technical specifications spanning hundreds of pages while maintaining terminological consistency.
- Consultants want to share and submit translated materials directly to clients or headquarters.
For these professionals, in addition to the high quality required for specialized translation, the majority of time spent on translation involves "non-translation" tasks. Correcting context, adjusting layouts, unifying terminology, and re-editing formats—these tasks put pressure on their core duties.
## What is "Blue One"?
"Blue One" (https://blue1.app) is a next-generation AI translation service designed for professionals such as business people, legal experts, and researchers.
Utilizing proprietary AI translation technology, it achieves industry-expert-level translation that sets it apart from conventional tools. Supporting 28 languages, it translates while preserving the layouts of PowerPoint, Word, PDF, Excel, and images, and completes terminology unification in one go, reducing translation workloads for professionals by up to 90% (according to company research).
"An AI translation tool that eliminates the translation workflow"—this is the experience that "AI Translation 2.0" aims for.
## Two reasons why Blue One is chosen
### 1. Astounding translation quality: "Deeply understanding before translating" like a human translator
Equipped with the proprietary context-understanding translation engine "DeepContext AI". Because it translates by understanding the context and specialized field of the entire document, the consistency of terminology and expression does not break down even in long documents in any specialized field, such as papers, contracts, IR materials, and technical specifications. It achieves the highest translation accuracy compared to translation tools and generative AI (proprietary evaluation 92.8 points/89.6 points).
### 2. Ready-to-use layout correction
Simply by dropping a file, the AI visually understands the structure of the document. It automatically processes line breaks, font size adjustments, and layout corruption correction caused by character count differences between languages. Even when translating 100 PowerPoint slides, the layout hardly breaks, allowing you to send them directly to overseas business partners after translation...
