New hardware in response to increased usage of FreeTranslation.com

Peak usage of FreeTranslation.com is usually between 8:00 and 10:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. At this time of day, FreeTranslation.com receives up to 4,000 requests for translations per minute. Have you ever noticed slower responses during that time? Have you ever received a message that asks you to try again later? If so, then I have good news for you!

I am happy to report that we recently finished the installation one of our biggest hardware upgrades ever. You should notice that translations come back faster than ever before, particularly during peak usage.

Through careful monitoring of the servers, we have been able to track the remarkable growth of traffic on FreeTranslation.com since its inception in 1999. Whenever our monitoring indicates that the level of usage is approaching the maximum capacity of the servers, it is time for some new computers. This investment in new servers ensures that you will continue to get the incredibly fast response that you expect from FreeTranslation.com, even as the number of visitors to the site continues to increase.

Enjoy!

This has been very helpful in bridging the my communication gap with customers. Working in a field that ability to speak Spanish is beneficial. A call center.

FreeTranslation.com has been a lifesaver for me MANY times! I am a receptionist at a clinic in Austin, Texas, and sometimes clients will come who only speak Spanish. I have been able to type in a phrase or word I want to say to them and instantly get the Spanish equivalent. I look very smart very quickly! Thank you for this invaluable service to my job! And you are helping me learn another language daily!
