MT and AI Post Editing (MTPE)
Post editing by expert linguists to ensure machine or AI translation output is accurate and fit for purpose.
AI translation and machine translation can accelerate multilingual workflows. They help reduce turnaround times and saving costs. However, technology alone cannot guarantee clarity, accuracy or correct use of terminology. This is why post editing is essential.
At Jensen Languages, MT and AI are used in a responsible and controlled way. Expert linguists validate the content, correct inaccuracies and ensure the final text reflects your message with precision. Our team also guides you in deciding whether MT or AI translation is appropriate for your specific project, since not all content benefits from automated approaches.
The level of review depends on the type and impact of your content. You may need:
Light post editing
Suitable when your content must be understandable and consistent. It involves correcting essential meaning errors and basic improvements in grammar and phrasing.
For example, light post editing may be suitable when translating internal emails or routine business communications, where the main focus is on correcting obvious errors and ensuring general readability rather than perfecting style or terminology. This approach is ideal for content that does not require strict adherence to brand or industry guidelines.
Full post editing
Required for publication‑ready content. It includes detailed correction, full alignment with terminology and brand guidelines, and structured improvements in tone and clarity.
For example, full post editing is crucial for contracts, compliance policies, where precise terminology, accuracy and alignment with regulatory requirements are essential. In these cases, a thorough linguistic review ensures the content is not only correct and clear but also meets industry standards and company protocols.
Our responsibility is to advise you on maximizing the benefits of MT and AI translation, ensuring you gain efficiency without compromising accuracy, consistency or quality.
