To the translators who know there’s more work out there,
You know that feeling when a job gets rejected because the client “just can’t justify the cost”?
It’s not that the content wasn’t important. It just wasn’t important enough.
And that’s been the story for years.
Content has been left untranslated not because it had no value… but because it wasn’t valuable enough to justify the cost of a full human workflow. Translation, editing, formatting, coordination… the whole package.
We’ve all seen this. The $100 per page rate for expert-level work made sense for high-stakes material. But for mid-value content — blog archives, internal documents, old decks, lower-volume product material — it just didn’t make the cut.
That content didn’t get translated. It died.
But now?
That’s changing.
Today, AI-driven human translation means we can revisit that “dead content” and bring it back to life.
If you can hit 800 to 1000 words per hour at your usual level of quality — and many of us now can, with the right system — then what used to cost $100 per page can now be delivered with quality and speed at a price that actually works for more content.
That’s not just a productivity win. That’s a market expansion win.
Here’s what happens next. Clients begin to see where quality translation is suddenly affordable. Projects that used to get skipped — or pushed to MTPE — become viable for real translators again. And you start tapping into demand that’s always been there… just out of reach until now.
Yes, MTPE has been sold as the solution. Faster, cheaper, checked by a human. But here’s the truth. Even MTPE comes with quality and risk tradeoffs that scare clients away.
When we offer full-stack human translation that’s faster, more affordable, and lower risk than MTPE… clients pay attention.
This is Opportunity #1 in The Opportunity Report for Translators: the backlog of content that was never translated… now ready to be unlocked by translators who know how to deliver high-quality work at high-efficiency speeds.
This isn’t about working harder. It’s about building a system that lets you do better work, faster, at a price that changes the economics of the game.
And that’s exactly what you’ll find inside The Opportunity Report.
