MACHINE TRANSLATION POST-EDITING
Technology is all around us and translation processes keep evolving and improving.
Using translation tools can have significant advantages: improved quality, performance, consistency, reliability, etc. Some content, especially technical texts, is particularly well-suited to machine translation post-editing. This service consists of proofreading and amending an automatically pre-translated text. The post-editor is there to make sure the final translation is intelligible and error-free. Machine translation post-editing is a quicker process than translating from scratch, meaning that higher volumes can be handled in a shorter time.
