AI translation designed around the way a Dunedin team actually runs.

The reason we take on work in Dunedin is that the businesses here tend to be sharper about what they want than the brief lets on. AI translation for a Dunedin team almost always ends up looking different to AI translation for a downtown Auckland one.

What AI translation actually does

Reach more of Aotearoa. AI translation for te reo Māori, Samoan, Tongan, Mandarin, Hindi, and more – with cultural nuance, not Google-Translate stiffness.

  • 01 Te reo Māori with macron support and reviewed terminology
  • 02 Voice translation for support calls in real time
  • 03 Glossary-locked terms so brand language stays consistent
  • 04 Human-reviewer workflow for high-stakes content

Built on: Claude DeepL ElevenLabs Vercel

What Dunedin teams tell us when they get on a call.

  • Dunedin pairs a strong university research culture with practical southern businesses. AI here means proven tools, not hype.
  • Education, health, tech, and a tourism shoulder season that hits hard. AI helps Dunedin teams smooth the peaks and protect the people.

We work with teams across Dunedin: CBD · North Dunedin · South Dunedin · Mosgiel · Port Chalmers · Green Island.

How we build AI translation for a Dunedin team.

We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Dunedin business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI multilingual + te reo.

Questions

FAQ

How fast could we have AI translation in production?

Eight to ten weeks for most Dunedin businesses. Faster if your data is in good shape and slower if we're untangling a legacy integration first. We'll give you a realistic number on the scoping call rather than the optimistic one.

What does AI translation cost for a Dunedin?

Pilots start from a fixed scope priced to land a measurable result inside 6 weeks. Pricing depends on data volume, integration complexity, and whether you need us on managed services afterwards. We'll quote precisely after a 30-minute scoping call.

Can you walk us through a comparable build?

Yes – on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. Expanded customer reach by 22% with multilingual support live.

What if our Dunedin doesn't have any data ready?

Most don't. Getting the data into shape – ingestion, cleaning, the lightweight contracts you need before any model is useful – is part of the engagement. For AI translation specifically, we typically run that work on Claude, DeepL, ElevenLabs, Vercel and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
