Post-editing
Talk to an expert
Service description
Full post-editing is aimed at achieving final quality that is similar, comparable, or equal to human translation. The goal of light post-editing is good enough quality for the intended purpose.
There are also even “lighter” post-editing processes, aimed at improving the accuracy and usability of long-tail content. These apply targeted QA checks that detect and rectify recurring issues.
Benchmarks and metrics like MT scores, LQA and edit distance, or more comprehensive A:B testing can be used to verify assumptions and fine-tune QA techniques. They also provide feedback for engine optimization.
Why choose espell?
espell has a large vendor base of linguists experienced in post-editing for the main language pairs covered by MT. We know how to select and train them for specific customer content.
We use special techniques to check for the consistent translation of feature names or UI options, and to filter out any non-translatables (product names, branded terms) corrupted by MT.
Feel free to ask for detailed service level definitions for post-editing and the scope of languages we can cover.
Our pricing is always custom-tailored to your needs.
"For me, it's truly fulfilling when I have the chance to see how our work directly contributes to our clients' success. My personal favourite example of this was a substantial project we undertook for our partner in the biotechnology research field. They were bidding on a project in France, and the RFP documentation was only available in French, a language they didn't speak. We seamlessly translated the French RFP into English and then the documentation they compiled for submission back into French in due time, utilizing a hybrid workflow with machine translation support whenever possible. I felt genuinely happy and accomplished when, during a company dinner, they shared with me that they not only secured the tender but also consolidated their partnership with this major client, ensuring a significant milestone in their growth."
