The Approach
The Results
When JBS made the decision to offer its Entrepreneurship Program in Spanish, they quickly encountered the complexities of translating an entire academic curriculum. With no prior translation experience and quotes from two vendors exceeding $70,000 for a one-time translation—excluding any future revisions—the costs were unmanageable.
Relying on external agencies also meant long turnaround times, often stretching into several months. To maintain control over budget and timeline, JBS sought a tool that would allow them to complete the project internally, while still producing accurate, professional-quality translations. That's when they discovered Pairaphrase.
Pairaphrase offered JBS everything they needed: a secure, cloud-based platform, easy onboarding, and an intuitive interface that allowed non-technical users to get up and running in less than a week. From the beginning, the Pairaphrase team worked closely with JBS to ensure their needs were met, even allowing them to retain a customized subscription plan during platform upgrades—a crucial benefit for a cost-conscious, mission-driven institution.
The internal team used Pairaphrase to handle the initial machine translation, then relied on their in-house Spanish-speaking staff for light post-editing. The platform’s ability to handle multiple file types—including Word, Excel, PDF, and PowerPoint—enabled seamless translation across the full suite of program materials.
In less than two months, JBS translated their full curriculum—months ahead of schedule and at a fraction of the cost of outsourcing. Now, they can expand their program into new languages with confidence. Pairaphrase helped JBS achieve measurable results that continue to make a lasting impact:
"I love Pairaphrase! My translation team and I were able to translate all of our Business & Entrepreneurship Program curriculum in less than two months, and for almost $60k cheaper than the top translation companies. The Pairaphrase team is so supportive, attentive, and always willing to work with you to meet your needs."
