An Overview of Machine Translation Post Editing

By Sabrina Eskelson inTranslations

If you have ever used online translation tools, you will likely know how inaccurate they can be. That’s why it is often recommended to rely on professional translators when you need official, technical, or legal documents localized in a specific language. However, that does not mean you can completely dismiss machine translation technologies. When combined with the competence of human translators, they can still be relevant and streamline your workflow. The result is machine translation post editing (MTPE), a service that applies the skills of a professional translator to the process of machine translation.

Ensuring accurate and high-quality translations

One of the common applications of MTPE is the scientific of technical texts for industries like engineering, manufacturing, and healthcare. With machine translation post editing, the process could be more cost-effective and accomplished faster in a streamlined manner.

How it is done

The translation of technical texts may be much faster and guaranteed with MTPE. However, it may not be suitable for all kinds of texts. MTPE may rely on automatic translation as the first step in its process, but it requires human intervention for editing. As a result, machine translation post editing can be used only with certain language combinations and certain types of texts, particularly technical and repetitive ones. If you need to translate creative material or anything for advertising, promotion, or publication, human translation is more advisable.

If you are not sure about MTPE being a suitable method for the translation of your technical texts, reach out to a reputable translation service provider that offers it. They will assess the contents of the text and advise you on the best translation strategy for your project.

For post-editing, the machine translation post editing service will define their procedure with your agreement. They may conduct a simple grammar and spelling check on the machine translated text or apply comprehensive changes to the style and terminology to ensure consistency, readability, and enhanced flow.
