Why NAATI Certification Matters

NAATI (National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters) is Australia's national standards and certifying authority for translators and interpreters.

Established by the Australian Government, NAATI ensures that translation and interpreting services meet consistent, professional standards across the country.

When you use a NAATI-certified translator, you're getting someone who has demonstrated their competency through rigorous testing and ongoing professional development requirements.

Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are powerful tools for generating text, but they are not a substitute for a professional, NAATI-certified human translator.

Our internal tests show that even as AI translations improve, people consistently identify a quality gap. AI may select a word that is technically correct but contextually inappropriate, changing the entire tone or meaning of a sentence.

Humans are still superior in this field, catching subtleties that machines miss.

That said, we do see the benefit of LLMs in our validation process, where they can help identify potential issues for human review. AI serves as a useful quality assurance tool when guided by professional translators.
