The Challenge
As the needs of its multilingual community grew, Centennial found that its existing translation solutions could no longer keep up. Outsourcing translations—at an average of 20 cents per word—became increasingly cost-prohibitive as communication demands rose. To manage live interpretation needs, the district turned to independent contractors, but consistency and scalability proved challenging.
Free machine translation tools, while tempting as a no-cost alternative, lacked the security and accuracy needed for educational terminology and nuanced messaging. Formatting issues and limited sharing capabilities further disrupted communication. Centennial needed a more sustainable, secure, and high-quality solution that aligned with its student-centered values and commitment to equitable access for all families.
The Approach
During its search for a better solution, Centennial discovered Pairaphrase—a secure translation management platform designed to overcome exactly the kinds of challenges the district faced. The discovery came at an opportune time, as the district was engaged in a 21-month initiative to integrate AI across teaching, learning, and operations. Centennial approached translation with a forward-thinking mindset, seeing AI not as a replacement for human expertise, but as a powerful complement to it.
Pairaphrase distinguished itself with its collaborative, user-friendly design. The platform allowed for high-quality translations while preserving formatting and simplifying the sharing process. Most importantly, it aligned with the district’s vision of using technology to enhance—not diminish—human-centered communication. From the start, Centennial’s experience with the Pairaphrase team was promising, offering personalized support and a clear departure from one-size-fits-all translation tools.
The Results
Since implementing Pairaphrase, Centennial has experienced measurable improvements in both translation quality and efficiency. Key benefits include:
- Faster, more consistent translations that allow for timely communication with multilingual families
- Reduced reliance on costly outsourced translations, lowering overall expenses
- Improved accuracy and cultural relevance by integrating human interpretation contractors into the workflow
- Minimal onboarding time, thanks to an intuitive, easy-to-use interface
- No need for technical support, streamlining internal operations
While formal data collection on cost and time savings is ongoing, the district has already seen signs that Pairaphrase will be a sustainable long-term solution for language access. The platform has empowered staff to respond more quickly and accurately to families’ needs, enhancing trust and inclusion across the school community.
“Pairaphrase is easy to use once you know how to do it. It is fast, safe, and reliable, with the documents that need to be translated with its different engines. As a native Spanish speaker, I find very few things that need to be corrected, and that gives me the confidence to continue using Pairaphrase.”
