Mobile App Developer: $30K Annual Savings

Challenge

BP Mobile developed a mobile translation application that quickly gained popularity and a large user base. However, the application relied on the Google API for translations, which became very expensive as the number of requests increased ($20 per million characters).

The company needed to find a more cost-effective translation service without compromising quality.

Solution

Product: On-Premise Machine Translation Software

BP Mobile chose Lingvanex’s on-premise MT software, which allows for unlimited text translation at a fixed price.

To ensure the quality and speed of translation, Lingvanex provided a one-month free trial, allowing BP Mobile to perform all necessary tests before integration.

After successful testing, the on-premise software was deployed on the company’s infrastructure, enabling the translation of billions of characters per day without cost concerns.

The integration process was simple and fast, thanks to the use of the same REST request format as the previously used by the company Google Translation API.

Results

By integrating the Lingvanex solution, BP Mobile reduced its translation costs by $30,000 per year without sacrificing quality.

This cost reduction has allowed the company to allocate resources more effectively, further enhancing the app's development and user experience.
