Global reach, not always matched by budget
Whether it’s a global health federation coordinating dozens of national associations, a patient advocacy alliance supporting communities across continents, or an international NGO delivering training and programmes across regions, the pattern is the same: an international mission, a small or stretched internal team, and more content than there’s budget to translate professionally in full.
We help you decide what needs full human translation, what can move faster and more affordably through AI-led workflows, and where a lighter-touch review from your own team, member organisations or local partners is enough. The result is a translation approach that matches your reach without matching a commercial organisation’s spend.
Getting sensitive and patient-facing content right
Not all content carries the same risk. A member newsletter or event update can move quickly. But patient-facing guidance, medical or clinical content, policy submissions and anything tied to trust, safety or dignity needs a closer look; the language has to be accurate, respectful and appropriate for the audience, not just fast.
We match this kind of content with linguists experienced in health, advocacy and mission-driven communication, so nothing sensitive goes out without the right level of review.
Pronto, with review built around how your organisation actually works
Pronto, our self-service AI translation platform, is configured around your organisation’s terminology, tone and previous translations, so it isn’t a generic AI tool bolted on top of your content.
For lower-risk content such as newsletters, event materials, internal updates and draft reports, your team can translate through Pronto directly. Where content needs a second look, Pronto’s Internal Edit feature lets your own team, medical advisers, local partners or member organisations review the translation before it goes out, so people with the right subject knowledge are checking the content, not just a translator working in isolation. For higher-risk or patient-facing material, Pro Edit brings in one of Comtec’s specialist linguists for a professional review. And for your highest-profile publications, fully human translation remains the safest route.

A realistic, sustainable localisation approach
We know budgets in this sector are tight and closely scrutinised, so we focus on building a model that’s sustainable, not a one-off translation project. Through Comtec Advisory, we help you work out which content genuinely needs specialist human translation, where member or partner review is enough, and where AI-led workflows can responsibly take the strain, so your budget stretches further without compromising the content that matters most to the people you serve.
As a certified B Corp ourselves, we understand what it means to hold your organisation to a higher standard, and we’re glad to work with organisations doing the same.
