What Is Pre Editing Machine Translation?
It’s a mix of two terms: pre-editing and machine translation. Here, the “source text” is pre-edited before it’s machine translated.
The scope of pre editing machine translation is to identify and correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation mistakes in the original text. It also simplifies the sentence structure and removes any ambiguities from the content.
Once pre-editing is over, the refined text goes through machine translation (MT).
The major benefit of this approach is to get considerably more accurate and higher-quality outcomes from MT engines.
Pre Editing Vs. Post Editing Translation
In pre-editing, a human prepares the source document before using the machine translation. In post editing translation, machine translation is applied first, and then a professional amends it to ensure accuracy.
The purpose of pre- and post-editing is the same. Both work to improve the quality of machine translation.
Pre-editing is a one-time job. While post-editing is done for each language pair. That said, the costs associated with post-editing can really add up when multiple languages are involved.
As a result, you may end up paying more even if the post editing rate per word is lower than that of pre-editing.
Add More Human Touchpoints With MTPE Specialist
It’s tempting to use machine translation (MT) software to save time and cost. But this approach is far from perfect as we all know. You must add human touchpoints to improve the quality of MT software translation.
In some cases, the best strategy is to combine both pre-editing and post-editing, especially when clarity, consistency, and precision are of utmost significance.
Don’t worry! Mars Translation has got your back. Not only can we help you pre-edit your content but we also have expert MT post-editors who can polish your machine-generated output.
So, let’s just team up if your project needs include hiring an MTPE specialist in addition to pre-editing.
