What is Post Edit MT?
A human-machine collaboration process
Post-Edit Machine Translation (PEMT) is a process where linguists humanise translations first produced by software.
Also known as MTPE (Machine Translation Post-Editing), it does precisely what the name implies. Linguists revise, enrich, and standardise the original copy after it has been processed by computer software.
PEMT has been around for decades, but it has taken a big step forward in recent years with the arrival of deep learning machine translation.
Why should you use PEMT?
Current translation software is now capable of producing quite good translations on its own, but it frequently misinterprets the nuances of the content and tends to sound rigid and robotic. AI is incapable of reading emotions, localising idiomatic language, or staying current with trends. Hence why a Post-Editing procedure is necessary.
A Post-Editor corrects all mistakes made by the software and humanises the final product.
When performed correctly, PEMT can produce excellent, precise, and consistent results, making it perfect for highly structured documents and bulk copy such as product descriptions, instruction manuals, and many others

It is important to note that machine translation currently works better in some languages than in others. PEMT may not be appropriate in some cases, so it’s extremely important to set up a project for success and count on our expert to advise.
