“With LinguistNow, companies can receive outstanding translations for self-help articles, ticket/email responses, and chat,” said Kaarina Kvaavik, co-founder of Language I/O, in a statement. “Our customers are already seeing tremendous cost reductions by using our existing products. Some of them have seen a more than 40 percent reduction on customer support costs.

“We use a unique combination of human and machine translation, which is why our translations are both fast and accurate,” Kvaavik continued. “We help companies improve their quality of customer support while also reducing their costs.
