Machine translation post-editing services (MTPE) use human linguists to refine your content and provide a high-quality final translation. This includes reviewing for accuracy, tone, cultural sensitivity and the correct terminology and phrasing to ensure that you communicate with your target audience authentically.
Machine translation post-editing is particularly key for content in highly specialised fields such as market research, healthcare, legal and other technical sectors.
Machine translation can give you the gist of a text but if you need an accurate rendition of it, you will likely need input from a professional, and above all human, linguist. As an experienced translation agency, The Language Factory can examine your machine translation and advise on the best course of action. It may simply need some light editing, including correcting mistranslations and reviewing grammar. Or we may recommend a full re-translation to ensure the accuracy and use of the right style, tone, specific terminology and client-specific phrasing.
Machine translation may provide an advantage in speed and cost, but it can come at a price. When quality is compromised, this can affect your brand and business reputation. Post-editing a machine translation will ensure accuracy in the first instance, but also cultural relevance, maintain the tone and style, high quality and adherence to regulatory standards.
