How it works

Machine translation is a process of automated transformation of word sequences from the source language to the target language via the usage of the software. While this type of translation saves time and yields satisfactory results, machines don’t understand the context or cultural peculiarities. This is why machine translation post-editing services are applied to improve the accuracy of machine work. MTPE is usually performed by a human translator, skilled in editing. An expert reviews the source content and makes changes to the machine-translated one. This way the context and consistency of the original document are retained.
Virtually any. You just need to be aware of success criteria based on your business goal. In the classic sense MT works best with structured and unambiguous content:
  • User Manuals
  • Legal Documents
  • User-Generated Content (Reviews)
  • Software Strings
  • Subtitles
Certain steps can help to produce better MT results saving time and budget:
  • Source text pre-editing
  • Automated formal quality checks
  • Project-specific glossaries
With this scenario in place the content is processed by MT engine of choiсe with no human editing. This option is suitable to get the general gist in a large bulk of content and doesn’t take terminology, consistency or style into account.
Get the best of both worlds by combining the machine power translating large volumes of texts with the human understanding of the context and the purpose of the text.
Machine Translation with light post-editing
Linguists are involved to a certain extent only to get understandable translation with no major errors. Readability and style remain intact. This option is applicable for lower-priority content where timelines are more important than quality.
Machine Translation with full post-editing
2 pairs of eyes (translator’s and editor’s) work with the machine translation output to get the result comparable to the one you get after conventional human translation workflow. This option is applicable for a wide range of content types including highly visible and client-facing texts.
