Etymax offers an expert Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE) service that refines machine-generated output into natural and accurate translations. Our linguists refine machine translation output to human-quality standards, ensuring your content aligns with your brand’s voice and objectives.

What is Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE)?

MTPE is the process of refining machine-generated translations to achieve human-quality output and ensuring linguistic accuracy, fluency and contextual precision. We offer two levels of MTPE tailored to your content needs:

  • Full post-editing services: human-like translation quality by improving grammar, style, tone, terminology and fluency. This level is ideal for marketing content, regulatory documents, and high-visibility materials that require expert localisation and accuracy.
  • Light post-editing services: focuses on essential corrections to improve accuracy and clarity while keeping machine-generated translations cost-effective. Suitable for internal documentation, low-liability content, and rapid translation needs.
