The Approach

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.

The Results

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:

• Massive cost savings: Translated 75,000+ words per month, saving nearly $60,000
• Time efficiency: Cut translation project time from months to just weeks
• User-friendly: Team members became proficient in under a week, thanks to the platform’s intuitive design
• Versatile formats: Easily translated and maintained formatting across all major file types
