Post-Editing

A complete translation with just one click – in the age of machine translation, it’s now a real possibility. Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere these days and has changed the translation industry dramatically. Translators with AI are on the rise, and there are growing numbers of machine translation providers. Neural machine translation services now deliver output of a very good quality, but they can’t match the standard of human translations. This is why post-editing is essential. During this process, a human translator checks and revises the AI translation. Post-editing a machine translation makes sure complex contexts are correctly translated, ensures consistency, incorporates special technical terms and meets safety requirements. SprachUnion offers two types of post-editing.

Translations with artificial intelligence

Not every text is suitable for the use of AI translators. When it comes to advertising materials or texts with a challenging style, relying on neural translation can be risky. In situations like these, a human translation is highly recommended in order to convey the message to best effect. This is why SprachUnion uses machine translations only for suitable text types. If you have had a text machine translated yourself and would like a professional translator to revise it, SprachUnion offers post-editing services. We follow the dual control principle during post-editing and adhere to DIN ISO 18587.

 

How does post-editing/machine translation work at SprachUnion?

  1. The text is analysed for suitability; goals and requirements are defined together with the client; technical terminology is incorporated where appropriate
  2. The machine translation is post-edited by native speakers specialising in the relevant field
  3. Another native speaker then edits the text
  4. Internal quality control and terminology check

With this approach, we deliver results that are linguistically correct and adapted to the target group. Plus, it saves time and money.
