Post-editing of automatic translation
Turn machine translation into reliable, natural text ready to publish
Machine translation tools can translate content quickly, but the result may contain meaning errors, terminology inconsistencies, unnatural phrasing or nuances that do not fit the target audience.
Post-editing of machine translation improves that raw output so the final text is clear, coherent and adapted to its context. Marc Pons Translator combines linguistic expertise, cultural sensitivity and professional judgement to make machine-generated translations work in real use.
Quality, accuracy and terminology adapted to your audience
Post-editing is not a superficial review: it requires linguistic knowledge, cultural sensitivity and judgement to decide what to keep, what to correct and what to rewrite.
A text generated by machine translation may look correct at first glance and still contain style issues, false meanings or unnatural constructions. Post-editing detects those problems and solves them before the content reaches clients, users or readers.
Marc Pons Translator offers a specialized service to improve machine translations and make sure the message preserves its accuracy, coherence and communicative value.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about machine translation post-editing.
What is machine translation post-editing?
It is the review and improvement of a translation generated by automatic tools to correct errors, improve fluency and adapt the text to its context.
How is it different from translating from scratch?
In post-editing, an automatic draft already exists. The work consists of assessing that text, correcting it and rewriting what is needed to reach the required quality level.
Is post-editing always worth it?
It depends on the quality of the initial output, the content type and the level of quality required. If the machine translation is very poor, translating from scratch may be more efficient.
What do you need to prepare a quote?
Ideally, send the source text, the machine translation, the language pair, the delivery format and the intended use of the content.
