Why aren't more businesses going global?

One of the bottlenecks to globalization is still language. The translation process is an expensive and sometimes cumbersome process, too complicated to make international expansion worthwhile. However, by staying on their home turf, businesses are sacrificing tremendous opportunities in overseas markets.

Today, there are only 250,000 translators servicing a world with 7.3 billion people who speak a total of 6,500 languages. This staggering linguistic diversity means that the demand for translation far exceeds the present supply. Yet more than half of the world's 7.3 billion people speak more than one language, an enormous source of potential translation talent that until now had gone untapped.

The Era of Big Translation

Stepes introduces an intuitive translation technology via mobile messaging that anyone with a smartphone can use. For the first time, the world's multilingual speakers can finally put their knowledge to work. By doing so, Stepes has kicked off the era of "Big Translation." Big Translation is a term used to describe large scale involvement in translation by people speaking two or more languages. Big Data has transformed the way we process information. Now Big Translation will transform the way we communicate.
