MarsHub is stepping up the game in the language services industry with the launch of MarsRelay, a managed AI translation service designed to narrow the gap between raw machine translation and traditional human-driven solutions. At the heart of MarsRelay is a strategic integration of AI automation and human expertise, aimed at delivering high-volume translation services while maintaining quality standards typically expected from human agencies. MarsHub, recognized as part of the Nimdzi 100 rankings for language services, has described this new service as a solution that leverages AI engines for translation, effectively balancing speed and precision.

One of MarsRelay's key claims is its ability to efficiently handle large-scale projects — as evidenced by their delivery of one million words of Chinese-language translation within a week. The service covers over 150 languages, with a stated capacity of translating up to 80,000 words per day. Pricing begins at USD 12.00 per 1,000 words for Chinese translation pairs and rises slightly to USD 14.00 for other languages. This scalability is complemented by a structured workflow that integrates human oversight at crucial stages. A dedicated project manager locks in essential vocabularies, brand terms, and approved translations to ensure consistency with the client’s existing translation memory, reducing redundancy and enhancing coherence across translated content.

Beyond just translation, MarsRelay incorporates an automated quality control layer that scans for issues related to terminology drift, formatting, and other anomalies, which are then flagged for human review. This synthesis of technology and human input ensures that translations meet high standards without sacrificing efficiency. As Slator notes, MarsRelay is targeted at high-demand sectors such as entertainment, digital publishing, and e-commerce, as well as high-stakes documentation, highlighting the service's versatility and broad appeal. The platform also claims to support a range of file types natively like SRT, CSV, and JSON, with advanced features such as PDF layout reconstruction available through optional tools.

MarsRelay's focus is clear: to combine MarsHub's well-established human linguistic expertise with the precision and speed of AI-powered systems, catering to clients such as GE, Hikvision, and Epic Games. By offering a free 5,000-word pilot, MarsRelay is not only showcasing its capabilities but also inviting potential clients to experience the benefits firsthand. As a result, MarsHub is positioned to make significant inroads in the competitive terrain of managed AI translations, effectively addressing the diverse needs of large-scale global projects.
