What it is and why it matters

What is machine translation post-editing

Post-editing, also known as PE or MTPE (machine translation post-editing), is the work of a professional translator who reviews and corrects a text produced by a machine translation engine so that it says exactly the same as the original and reads naturally. More and more companies translate with DeepL, ChatGPT, Google Translate or in-house engines because it is fast, but AI is not accountable for its errors: if a website, a manual, a catalogue or a contract goes out with a mistranslated sentence, an altered specification or an inconsistent term, it is the company's problem. Post-editing keeps the speed of machine translation and adds what it lacks: human review, terminological consistency and judgement. And when a document has to be submitted to an official body, we deliver it as a sworn translation. It is the business version of our AI translation quality control.

Terminological consistency

The same terms always translated the same way across your website, manuals and contracts, with a project glossary.

Accuracy in every detail

Figures, measurements, specifications, references and names checked against the original.

Your brand's tone

Texts that sound natural in the target language, not like a machine translation.

Official validity when needed

If the document is going to an official body, the reviewed version is delivered signed and stamped by a sworn translator.

What suits you

Post-editing or translation from scratch?

Post-editing is a good fit when your company already works with machine translation and the initial result is usable. For some texts, however, translating from scratch is worthwhile. Send us a sample and we'll tell you which option makes more sense.

What the price depends on

There is no single rate: post-editing an almost correct machine translation is not the same as one that needs to be largely redone. The price is calculated based on these four factors, which is why we need to see the originals and the translation before giving you a fixed figure.

The languageThe language pair and the availability of specialised translators for that pair.
The actual volumeThe effective length of the document, not the apparent number of pages.
The quality of the machine translationHow many errors the initial translation has and how much needs correcting or retranslating.
UrgencyIf you have a tight deadline, we check feasibility and prioritise when possible.

For a fixed quote

Send us these four details and we'll reply with the price, a feasible deadline and the recommended delivery.

  • The originals and the machine translation
  • Source and target language
  • What it is for: publication, internal use or an official body
  • Deadline and whether a paper copy is required

When a business document needs to be sworn

With official validity, when needed

Most post-edited texts (websites, catalogues, manuals, communications) are delivered as a standard translation. But a machine translation, even when reviewed, has no official validity on its own: when a business document has to take effect before a public authority, a court, a consulate, a notary or a registry (depending on each procedure), a sworn translation is usually required, signed and stamped by a sworn translator-interpreter officially authorised by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You can check authorisation by language in the Ministry's official search tool. If you are not sure which option is required, we review it with you.

The general framework is regulated, among other rules, by Royal Decree 724/2020 (BOE), which regulates the Language Interpretation Office and the role of the sworn translator. If your procedure is international, in some cases an apostille or legalisation is also required, depending on the country.

At Trayma we review the destination country and body with you before issuing the final version, so we can recommend the safest type of delivery and avoid requests for further documentation.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about machine translation post-editing

What is machine translation post-editing?
It is the review and correction, by a professional translator, of a text produced by a machine translation engine such as DeepL, Google Translate or ChatGPT. The aim is for the translation to say exactly the same as the original and read naturally. It is also known as MTPE.
What is the difference between post-editing and translating from scratch?
In post-editing we start from the machine translation you already have and correct it against the original; in translation from scratch, the translator works directly from the original. Post-editing is a good fit when the initial translation is usable; for creative or highly sensitive texts, or machine translations with too many errors, translating from scratch is usually worthwhile.
Can you post-edit what we translate with DeepL, ChatGPT or our own engine?
Yes. We start from the machine translation you send us, whatever tool was used to produce it, and review it sentence by sentence against the original. If any document needs official validity, we deliver it as a sworn translation.
Do you keep our company's terminology?
Yes. We work with a project glossary so that the same terms are always translated the same way across all your documents. If you already have a glossary or style guide, we apply it from the start.
How much does post-editing cost?
It depends on the language, the actual volume, the quality of the initial machine translation and how urgent it is. If the machine translation is good, post-editing takes less work; if it has many errors, parts may need to be retranslated. Send us the originals and the translation and we'll give you a fixed quote.
How do you guarantee the confidentiality of our company's documentation?
We sign NDAs, use secure channels and limit access to your documentation to the team assigned to the project, so the information is protected throughout the process.
