Ensure flawless linguistic and cultural accuracy in machine-translated projects using
our immaculate Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE) services.
Machine Translation Post-Editing, or MTPE, is the process of using human translators to review and edit the translations done by machines. This process is used to maintain accuracy, consistency, and quality of translations.
In this process, the machine handles the initial translation work, and then Somya Translator’s expert linguists review the machine-translated content and match it with translation memory to ensure the high-quality work.
The entire process looks like this:
- Initial Translation: The original text is translated using a machine translator. This is an efficient step, as it utilizes advanced AI models to derive results.
- Post-Editing: This is an essential step, generally carried out by professional linguists or translation agencies. Post-editing can be grouped into:
- Light Post-Editing: Minimum edits are made to tweak the fluency and tone of the translated text. This method involves making a few edits while maintaining linguistic and cultural accuracy. It is widely used for the general and e-commerce domains and can save up to 50% of the total translation cost.
- Full Post-Editing: This process involves a meticulous review of the machine-translated text, ensuring flawless accuracy and cultural relevance. The reviewer rectifies everything, starting with tone, style, and cultural sensitivity. The process is preferred for customer-centric documents, like press releases and marketing material. Professional full post-editing can cost 60-70% of the total translation.
- Project-Specific Post-Editing: Some projects contain several documents, out of which some will require a more detailed edit than others. In such cases, an efficient strategy helps to maintain an appropriate focus on documents requiring higher tweaks. The process can cost 70-80% of the total translation and is generally used for the legal and medical domains.
- Quality Assurance: This is a necessary step, which assists linguistic services in providing the highest quality results. Quality assurance is categorized into:
- Proofreading: A thorough check is done to ensure error-free and high-quality translated content.
- Feedback: To ensure continuous improvement of the service, feedback is requested from the client.
