We're not letting 2024 slide out quietly... we’re closing with a bang of novelties in Bureau Works!

Here are the highlights:

  • Enhanced Augmentation: You can now fix detected Smells with the click of a button,
  • Revamped pricing with Unlimited Users and access to Connectors,
  • A new approach to managing repetition propagation across multiple assets,
  • 44 new languages, a redesigned home page, and a brand-new free plan.

I told you we’re wrapping up in style!

Oh, and don’t miss a beautiful initiative at the end of this email: a an initiative by Automation Anywhere to empower single Japanese mothers leveraging Bureau Works technology.


Fix Smells with the Click of a Button!

Our semantic verifier, Smells, which identifies deviations in meaning, now allows you to fix detected errors instantly. The insights have been so impactful that clients have been asking for a faster way to act on them, and we delivered.

This update transforms Smells from a powerful analyzer into an actionable tool, enabling you to fix the translation effortlessly. It’s a subtle shift in the UI, but a significant leap toward Agentic Translation, as highlighted by Gabriel during his talk at SlatorCon.


A new pricing model with UNLIMITED USERS

Once again, our clients asked, and we delivered. We’ve updated our pricing model! Instead of charging per user, we now charge only by volume. That means you can add as many users as you need, without worrying about costs.

A new approach to managing repetition propagation across multiple assets


Previously, we offered a solution to handle repetition across assets via Translation Memory, but our clients asked for more, and we listened. Want to work with ten, twenty, or even one hundred different assets at once and ensure one repetition carries over across all of them instantly? With this enhancement, you can now do it faster and more efficiently.


New Languages Added

We’ve expanded our language coverage! Over 35 new languages and variations have been added to the platform, helping you reach more audiences than ever.

Flexible Segment Customization

Ever looked at segments in the editor and thought, “Why was this split here?” or “Why is all of this grouped together?”.

We’ve expanded your control! For specific files, you can now fine-tune how segments are grouped or excluded, giving you even more flexibility to manage your files your way.

Want to go further? Add your own custom tags to personalize the editor experience even more.


More Visibility and Transparency for Vendors

Vendors can now access detailed pre and post-analysis logfiles directly from the “Preview” button, giving them greater visibility and clear insights into their work.


A refreshed home page

While it’s not exactly a feature, our new home page reflects our long-term vision and commitment to building a strong partnership with you. Take a quick peek!

Automation Anywhere and Bureau Works

Switching gears from our newest features to an inspiring client project that is using our technology for one of the best purposes possible: empowering Japanese single mothers.

Google “Japanese single mothers”, and the results are heartbreaking: poverty, shame, and endless struggles.

As the year comes to a close, we wanted to share a project full of hope and connection.

Through a partnership between Bureau Works and Automation Anywhere, led by Luciano Arruda, single mothers are using Bureau Works to upskill themselves as Japanese proofreaders, creating real opportunities for meaningful work and brighter futures.
