Microsoft Research Machine Translation (MSR-MT) Team Blog announced the release of Livetranslation.com professional translation service.

While our free service meets the needs of many users, the availability of fast-turnaround professional translation through Livetranslation.com ensures that the needs of those who need low-cost, high quality human translations can be met. Users of our landing page will now be able to enjoy the best of both worlds by selecting the option to upgrade from an automatic translation to one carried out by a professional translator through Live Translation. This service is available on our English-facing site – the languages available and turnaround time depends on the available translators online. Most translations can be completed within 24 hours, and the service allows you to see the cost and time for turnaround before payment.
