What is post-editing?

Post-editing refers to the process where a human edits or makes changes to machine-translated content to achieve human acceptable quality.

A post-editing process generally involves the following:

  • Eliminating grammatical and syntactic errors.
  • Guaranteeing that no sentence, phrase or piece of information is lost in the translation.
  • Enhancing the style so that your message appeals to your target audience.
  • Making sure that the edited text is culturally and legally appropriate.
  • Making sure the correct terminology is used consistently throughout the file.
  • Using proper spelling, style and punctuation.
