Machine translation post-editing

With machine translation (MT) engines that employ artificial neural networks, only a professional can see who/what has been behind the translation: a human being or a program.

In the near future, machines are unlikely to learn how to translate fiction or creative texts proficiently and will not master the techniques of transcreation. In other cases, neural translation can be a swift and cost-effective solution. Even though machine translation may by inconsistent, you can obtain highly promising results combining it with 100% human editing.

First, we translate using the machine engine and then the MT editors take over to check and correct the text, ensuring accurate terminology, consistency and smoothness of the resulting translation. This translation method saves up to 20–25% of the time and money needed to perform the same amount of work with human resources alone.

We also build and train custom translation engines. Our MT editors and managers work on translation memories ensuring that your custom machine translation engine gains exceptionally high accuracy throughout the training process.

We are happy to integrate new technologies into our everyday translation work, making the best of the machine + human tandem. 

You ask, we answer

?Which MT engines do you use?

!We have a variety of options at hand, all of them being paid versions that ensure confidentiality. The optimal engine for a particular subject and language pair is selected via intelligent routing by the system. Along with other tasks, we also build custom engines.

?What does an MT editor do?

!The MT editor tackles quite a challenge task — to render machine translation more "human" and correct all the typical engine errors.

The work of an MT editor akin to that of an editor. The only difference is that edits are made to a translation performed by a machine, not by a human.

?How much does machine translation cost?

!The use of machine engines is provided on a paid basis. An average rate per character amounts to €0,0001.

Training and building your own custom engine costs money as well. Price ranges may vary depending on the supplier, but you usually need to pay for each stage of training and storage, and for the number of translated characters.
