From checking to polishing MT output
Precise automation with a sense of proportion can help you reach your goal even more quickly and more cost-effectively. That’s because significant savings and premium quality do not have to be mutually exclusive. A combination of machine translation and human or AI-supported editing can be useful, and can save both time and money. Defining terminology and maintaining it on an ongoing basis also contributes to efficiency and consistency in MT use. The spectrum ranges from the translation of information to adapted versions that can compete with copy created by a human being.
When revising a machine translation, the focus is on communicating the source text correctly with regards to content and grammar, and on the linguistic features of the target language. Due to the sentence-based approach of MT and the lack of overall context, particular attention is paid to consistency in terms of content and terminology. Similarly, the text style can also be adapted in the human processing step and requirements regarding the publication medium can be taken into account.
