Fabio Correa Gomes18 Aug 2025Can GPT-5 really replace your TMS?We ran a side-by-side test: the same file, the same glossary, the same translation memory. First with GPT. Then with Bureau Works. The result? GPT looked promising at first… but quickly slipped into typos, hallucinations, and missing sentences. Bureau Works, on the other hand, delivered consistent, editable, and reliable translations. Built for agencies and freelancers who can’t afford mistakes . Curious to see the difference for yourself? Watch the full breakdown by clicking on the video below. If you’re running a localization agency or working as a freelancer, this is the test you don’t want to miss. #Translation #Freelancers #AgenciesYouTube

Fabio Correa Gomes14 Aug 2025Agencies give clients savings from translation memory and repetitions all the timeBut let’s be honest, those savings usually hide in a spreadsheet somewhere. What if they showed up like store credit? Every reused sentence adds to your client’s balance. They can see exactly how much they saved and where it came from. Clear. Simple. Easy to share with leadership. For agencies, it’s more than a nice report. It’s proof you’re working smarter. And the best part? When clients can see those savings pile up, they’re more likely to stick around to take full advantage. And with custom saving rules, you can keep that goodwill growing for years.
Fabio Correa Gomes13 Aug 2025What can you automate in your translation agency today?With AI, agencies need more automation than ever to stay profitable. Stop the back-and-forth and endless copying-and-pasting. Here’s what you can automate in your translation agency: Use fewer tools. Streamline your daily operations by reducing the number of platforms you rely on. Fewer tools mean faster workflows and higher productivity. Automatic job quotes. Save your client’s time. Let them upload a file and get an instant quote. No endless back-and-forth needed. Smart task allocation. Assign projects to the best available translator automatically, based on the quality criteria you define. Automatic payments. Pay hundreds, or thousands of translators instantly, with all word counts already calculated. What are other ways to increase your agency's productivity? #Automation #ProductivityVimeo
Fabio Correa Gomes12 Aug 2025Can a CAT Tool Help You Bypass AI Detectors?Bypassing AI detectors isn’t the main reason to use a CAT tool. But some features can make it happen. Glossary & Terminology Control: If you have a glossary set up, the CAT tool applies it to all LLM translations. Your terms are replaced or adapted to match the glossary. This removes typical LLM words and sentence patterns, shaping the text to your style and reducing repetitive or “AI-sounding” output. Integrated Human Feedback: Translator edits are saved in translation memory. Over time, the LLM suggestions adapt toward a more human style. This can lower the chance of detection. Multiple Author Inputs: CAT tools often involve several translators and editors. Different writing styles create natural variation in phrasing. This breaks the uniformity of raw LLM output. The Result: While the primary role of a CAT tool is to improve workflow and quality, the mix of human edits, terminology control, and varied input can also make text less likely to trigger AI detectors.Vimeo
Fabio Correa Gomes8 Aug 2025Bureau Works Opens Marketplace for TranslatorsCompanies using Bureau Works often face the same challenge. They need translators and agencies who already know how to work with the platform. Many translators also face a challenge. They want more places to show their profile and skills to the right clients. The new Bureau Works Marketplace brings both sides together. For companies, it’s a quick way to find professionals who understand the tools and workflows. For translators, it’s another place to display their experience and connect with clients who use Bureau Works. It’s free to join. Create your profile, share your skills, and let the right clients find you. Sign up here: https://marketplace.bureauworks.com/Vimeo
Fabio Correa Gomes7 Aug 2025As translators, we’ve always had to choose: Great text editors like Google Docs or Word...or translation systems with memories and glossaries. We get why these worlds stayed apart: Segments. They brought automation. Allowed discounts. Gave peace of mind especially to Localization Managers. It’s common to hear: “50% of segments are in memory, block them.” And just like that, segments become the logic behind every choice. Managers cherry-pick This one gets translated. That one gets skipped. From their view, it works. From a creative view? It’s chaos. No flow. No warm-up. Just silos. We believe in a third way. Unify the usability of a great text editor with 40 years of translation tech in one platform. That’s Free-Flow: A translation editor without segments, built to prioritize flow.

Fabio Correa Gomes5 Aug 2025LLMs forget just one thing. The stuff that actually mattersThey remember facts. But when it comes to matching tone, terms, and writing style? They get lost. Lately, I spend more time prompting them to remember the words I like, and the ones I don’t, than actually translating. You upload 10 pages. You upload your glossary. You say: “Translate this. Use these terms. Be consistent.” And it tries. Bless its little neural heart, it really tries. Page 1? Flawless. Page 2? Mostly okay. Page 3? Terms start drifting. By Page 5? It’s freestyling. By Page 10? You’re re-translating the translation. Not because the LLM isn’t smart. Because it doesn’t care what you said five prompts ago. And it’s not designed to. It doesn’t store your decisions. It doesn’t build memory. It doesn’t understand consistency unless you keep yelling it into every prompt.

Fabio Correa Gomes18 Jul 2025❝If you're still playing the old translation game, you're already losing.❞In this vlog, Gabriel Fairman compares the translation industry to the prisoner's dilemma, where everyone ends up worse off because no one dares to trust or lead. AI has rewritten the rules. The game is no longer about quality vs. speed. It's about who understands the new incentives and who’s still playing defense. There are three choices: Chase the disruptors. Defend the tradition. Or… design a whole new game. We chose option 3. And in this new game, the value of human translation isn’t erased… It’s redefined! Watch Gabriel unpack the strategy behind translation's new frontier.Vimeo

Fabio Correa Gomes8 Jul 2025“Maybe I’ve always had impostor syndrome... but this is the first time I feel like I’m doing something that truly matters.”In our latest Merging Minds episode, Mario Pluzny opens up, not just about localization tech, but about something much deeper: The journey to finding real purpose in your work. It’s easy to climb the ranks, check the boxes, and still feel like you’re wearing someone else’s suit. But what happens when you finally build something that reflects who you are: your values, your voice, your impact? For Mario, that’s where impostor syndrome begins to fade. Not because the fear goes away, but because the mission gets louder than the doubt. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite belong in the room you worked hard to get into, this conversation is for you.
