Bluente

Singapore-based language translation platform, Bluente, raised USD 1.5 million in a seed plus funding round led by Informed Ventures. 

With the newly acquired funding, it aims to accelerate its growth and geographic expansion. Furthermore, it aims to expand through hiring and marketing. It will also aim to further develop its product and partnerships. With this, it aims to accelerate entry into Middle-East, US and broader Asia-Pacific markets.

Daphne Tay, founder of Bluente, said: “These regions have the highest concentration of international firms and users dealing with cross-border transactions. They’re also markets where our multilingual capabilities, especially in Arabic and Asian languages, provide the strongest competitive advantage.”

Translation

Bluente’s platform translates documents into different languages while retaining the formatting. Furthermore, it supports over 100 languages including Mandarin, Japanese, French and German. Currently, the platform has more than 70 enterprises as customers including law firms, Fortune 500 companies and government agencies. This through a subscription solution available to its corporate client.

The startup aims to tackle a challenge faced by professionals regarding productivity. This is the hours lost to copy-pasting, translation errors and tedious reformatting of documents post-translation. To tackle this, it seeks to deliver a one-click solution that maintains the exact formatting of the documents during translation. 

Additionally, it has a range of 120+ languages – converting texts, images, numbers and units with precision. Furthermore, its goal is to save firms thousands of hours annually, freeing professionals to focus on other work.
