You have some highly technical manuals with little commercial impact that, according to local legislation, need to be translated. You have a very tight budget but you need to translate some scarcely visible materials. If you find yourself in any of these situations, post-editing might be the solution for you.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=\u00bbCalculate your quotation\u00bb style=\u00bbflat\u00bb color=\u00bbblack\u00bb size=\u00bblg\u00bb align=\u00bbleft\u00bb link=\u00bburl:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.treeloc.com%2F%3Fpage_id%3D1592|\u00bb][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\u00bb7\/12&#8243; el_class=\u00bbgraphic\u00bb][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=\u00bbstretch_row\u00bb el_class=\u00bbmain\u00bb][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u00bb2\/12&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u00bb8\/12&#8243;][vc_column_text el_class=\u00bbcenter\u00bb]<\/p>\n<h4>Technology at our service<\/h4>\n<h2>The way to optimize resources for tactical projects<\/h2>\n<p>Artificial intelligence, neural networks, and the current computing capacities have made what seemed like fantasy a reality: texts translated to another language in seconds. Although the initial result is incorrect, a human professional edits and corrects the text to create the finished product. If you have an already well-written text (this is very important) that doesn&#8217;t have any legal implications and not a lot of visibility, it may therefore be a good candidate for post-editing.

When is it used?\u00bb tab_id=\u00bb1587052917247-61cfcfa3-b61a9b47-e912&#8243;][vc_column_text]Post-editing is the process of improving a translation generated by a machine translation engine. Therefore, post-editing is the work that takes place after a machine translation engine has translated the text. The person tasked with performing post-editing is a post-editor, who is a reviser with special training for this kind of correction work. They not only correct meaning and grammar, but also style and tone. The end goal is for the post-editing to result in a translation with completely correct meaning and with as natural a style as possible.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=\u00bbWhy do we do post-editing?\u00bb tab_id=\u00bb1587052970438-e6d3eb2b-02559b47-e912&#8243;][vc_column_text]Carrying out a machine translation and post-editing process may be the most appropriate solution in specific cases in which the priority is to have a large text translated (for internal use or general use, in the case of materials with reduced visibility) in the shortest possible amount of time. The main goal is to obtain a translation that matches the original in terms of meaning. If the material in the source language meets the necessary requirements, applying machine translation and post-editing may be a good solution, bearing in mind that it is a faster, more economical method than standard translation. We have the procedures and the necessary equipment to guarantee adequate results at a speed that was almost unthinkable just a few years ago. Treeloc also holds ISO 18587 certification, which certifies the procedures used to perform post-editing. Please do not hesitate to contact us: together we can assess if machine translation, plus post-editing, may be the answer to your documentation requirements.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=\u00bbWhat is ISO 18587?\u00bb tab_id=\u00bb1587052969992-d701b4c6-66f69b47-e912&#8243;][vc_column_text]ISO 18587 details the procedures that must be used to carry out the post-editing of a text translated automatically, and describes the competences and the experience the post-editor must have. Treeloc was one of the first companies in the world to obtain the ISO 18587 certification. This ISO standard formally ensures that all the relevant procedures have been followed to guarantee that the end result of the post-editing is satisfactory.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\u00bb5\/12&#8243; el_class=\u00bbgraphic4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=\u00bb1296&#8243; img_size=\u00bbfull\u00bb alignment=\u00bbcenter\u00bb][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=\u00bbstretch_row\u00bb el_class=\u00bbprefooter_neg\u00bb css=\u00bb.vc_custom_1595353130617{margin-top: 50px !important;}\u00bb][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u00bb2\/12&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=\u00bbcenter\u00bb width=\u00bb8\/12&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Calculate your quotation<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=\u00bbsubtitle\u00bb]Quick and easy.
