We talk about machine translation when the text is translated by a computer. Machine translation is not a replacement for human translation. Although, by editing, modifying and correcting a pre-translated text, the output becomes a viable alternative, notably for the translation of large volumes of content.
Should you choose post-editing over translation?
You should definitely consider opting for a post-editing service if:
-
You have a large volume of content to translate in a relatively short amount of time
-
Your content is repetitive and regularly updated
-
Your content is intended to be used for a very short time (user-generated content such as email, FAQs, reviews).
What are the disadvantages of Machine Translation Post-Editing?
Machine Translation Post-Editing cannot match the quality of a traditional translation. If your content is intended to be published for marketing purposes (websites, newsletters, press releases), it needs to be translated from scratch by a native, professional translator so that it engages with the reader.
Therefore, machine translation post-editing is not recommended for:
-
Customer-facing content (marketing materials)
-
Content that needs absolute accuracy
-
Complex content.
Is post-edited content SEO friendly?
Search engines like Google consider unedited machine-translated text as auto-generated, so its ranking is penalized. Human translated text associated with an international SEO is ideal solution for the best SEO results and ROI. Alternatively, intensive post-editing could become in handy, but the style and the accuracy of the content will be compromised. Intensive post-editing could also be less cost-effective.

SERVICE INFO & CONDITIONS
For this service I post-edit the output offered by SDL Language Cloud Machine Translation, an automated translation service offered by SDL, a leading provider of language services. For now I only offer the English to Italian language combination because engines are not high-performing when dealing with French to Italian.
Machine translation is a viable option only for certain types of documents. Your request needs approval.
The unused words can be used for a future MT post-editing project, with no time limit. There is no discount offered to word repetitions.
I reserve the right to refuse orders for any reason.
Don't hesitate to contact me for a personalized solution.
REFUND POLICY
Words cannot be exchanged with another service. If you are not satisfied with the quality of the translation I delivered, just contact me and I will offer you a free translation review and/or editing, or a refund if my translation is reviewed by a professional and considered to be of poor quality. I am confident it shouldn’t come to that.
PROCESSING & DELIVERY INFO
Processing time: All requests are sent to me for verification right after the order is placed. I receive your translation request, review it, and get back to you as quickly as possible to obtain or give you further information.
Delivery time: Delivery varies according to my schedule and the document complexity and length. I strive to satisfy your desired deadline to the best of my ability.
QUOTE INFO
The post-editing request you submit is not a binding contract. If we come to an agreement, it is to be considered a Purchase Order. This could give you the right to take advantage of a special rate, if applicable. I will get in contact with you to complete and confirm your payment.
You will not be charged as long as we have not come to an agreement.
