Bridging the language barrier can be a costly and time-consuming endeavor for many small and medium-sized businesses. While there have been significant advances in machine translation, the inclusion of a human touch is essential to ensure high-quality translations. That is why English into Dutch blends the efficiency of machine translation with the expertise of skilled human editors through its Human-Edited Machine Translation service offering.
The Human in Human-Edited Machine Translation
So, what exactly is human-edited machine translation, and why do we use the term ‘human-edited’ instead of the more commonly used ‘post-editing machine translation’?
Human-edited machine translation is a dynamic process that combines the speed and automation of machine translation with the expertise and creativity of a skilled human editor. Unlike traditional ‘post-editing,’ which might imply a passive correction process, our human editors actively engage with the content. This iterative approach fosters a true collaboration between human intelligence and artificial intelligence, elevating the machine translation quality to new heights.
We stress the importance of the ‘human’ aspect on the translation process because:
- Human editors ensure hybrid translations of unmatched quality. ‘Human-edited’ embodies our unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality translations. Our human editors don’t just correct errors; they actively engage with the content, ensuring that the translation captures the intended meaning and style.
- Human editors capture cultural nuances. Understanding and respecting cultural nuances is paramount in content translation. Our human editors possess the domain-specific knowledge to accurately convey complex concepts, safeguarding against any misinterpretations that might arise in purely automated translations.
- Human editors guarantee accurate conveyance of complex concepts. Language carries context and subtleties. Our human editors possess the expertise to accurately convey complex concepts, ensuring your message remains clear and impactful.
The 4 Steps of The Human-Edited Machine Translation Process
By embracing human-edited machine translation, we merge the capabilities of AI-driven MT technology with the unmatched skill and intuition of our human editors. The result is translations that elevate your brand’s voice, connecting you with your global audience on a profound level.
Let’s take a closer look at the four stages of the human-edited machine translation process to see what they entail:
- Submission of Files: The journey begins when you submit your files for translation. We handle a wide range of document types in various file formats, from marketing materials and technical documents to websites and business documents.
- Pre-Editing: The objective of machine translation pre-editing is to enhance the accuracy and quality of the machine translation output. This is achieved by having human editors make minor adjustments to the source text before it undergoes translation by a translation engine.
- Machine Translation: Once we receive your files, our cutting-edge Machine Translation (MT) technology swings into action. This advanced AI-driven system rapidly generates an initial translation, providing us with a quick draft translation, laying the foundation for the subsequent phases.
- Review and Editing by Human Editor: This is where the true magic happens! The machine-generated translation is handed over to a human editor to review and edit the machine-generated translation. The human editor goes beyond mere ‘post-editing’ and actively engages with the content. They review and refine the translation, taking into account context and cultural nuances, ensuring precise meaning and accuracy, and resulting in a translation that speaks to your target audience.
