EasyTranslate, co-founded by Frederik Pedersen, stands out in the translation and localization industry by combining artificial intelligence with human expertise. The company provides a platform for e-commerce and software companies to translate and localize web content, with a unique emphasis on human editors to refine AI-generated content. This approach not only maintains brand identity and voice but also improves the quality of content.

Instead, it saves clients money by using AI for initial translations and then employing human translators for final touches. The company's clients include notable brands like Dyson, Wix.com, and Acer. A case study of a Norwegian electronics e-commerce site illustrates the effectiveness of EasyTranslate's model, showing a significant increase in conversion rates after employing human translators. The company has recently raised €2.75M to enhance its marketplace functionalities.
