WHAT POST-EDITING MEANS
Machine translation reviewed by a professional
Post-editing begins with a machine-translated text. A language professional then checks meaning, context, terminology and style before it is used.
CONTENT WE REVIEW
Post-editing for businesses and creators
We work with websites, catalogues, corporate communications, articles, training materials, commercial content and other professional documents. Before starting, we assess the machine translation quality, file format, language pair, volume and required level of finish.
Documents are handled confidentially and we follow any glossaries, style guides and reference material supplied by the client.
