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.

"Sharing clients’ feedback with the linguists is always challenging, as each case is different, but serves the same purpose: providing the client with a service they are happy with. The feedback process often results in several rounds, it requires a bunch of soft skills and empathy. If I am to do a good job, the linguists should understand and incorporate the client’s requirements and align them with the linguistic aspects. I always aim at turning feedback into knowledge and support that nurtures our educated, motivated, and dedicated linguists who stay with espell on the long run."
