How FreightLingo translates
A wrong number on a load costs money: a missed appointment, a refused pallet, a truck at the wrong door. So FreightLingo treats numbers differently from words.
Getting there around 3:30. There's roadwork on I-35 near San Antonio.
Translated from Spanish
Llego como a las 3:30. Hay obras en la I-35 cerca de San Antonio.
- Numbers are locked before anything is translated.
- Load numbers, times, dates, temperatures, weights, addresses, phone numbers and dollar amounts are found in the message first and set aside. The translation is made around them. Then every number in the translation is checked against the original, character for character.
- You always see what was actually said.
- Every translated message shows the original underneath it. If a word reads oddly, the sender's own words are right there.
- Checked numbers are marked.
- A number that came through the translation exactly is highlighted in yellow, on both sides of the conversation, like a number on a road sign.
- If a number can't be confirmed, it says so.
- Now and then a translation moves a number in a way that can't be verified. When that happens, FreightLingo puts the original first, marks nothing, and says the numbers weren't confirmed. It never guesses quietly.
- Your own words are never translated back at you.
- What you send is what you typed. The translation is for the person reading it.
