MTPE vs Traditional Translation

When deciding between Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE) and traditional human translation, several factors come into play. MTPE offers notable advantages over traditional methods:

Speed and Efficiency:

MTPE accelerates the translation process by quickly processing large volumes of text through a trained engine, followed by human revisions and refinement.

Cost-Effectiveness:

With less intensive human input when compared to traditional translation, MTPE often leads to lower costs while leveraging advanced machine translation technology.

Scalability:

MTPE scales well for high-volume multilingual projects, quickly providing base translations across various languages for subsequent post-editing.

Consistency:

Machine translation maintains consistency in terminology and style, which is particularly beneficial for large volumes of text, such as in traditional localization. Human editors then refine it to match specific guidelines.

Choose MTPE for projects prioritizing speed, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. Quality is guaranteed by the post-editing process, in which human linguists review content to make sure the quality meets expectations. Traditional translation remains ideal for projects that focus on detailed, high-quality content, demanding deep cultural understanding, like creative and marketing materials and sensitive or confidential documents that require human accuracy and security.
