Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE) Services

In today's global business environment, where processing massive amounts of content requires lightning-fast speed, machine translation emerges as a powerful tool for efficiency. However, speed alone is not enough to ensure effective, impactful communication. At House of the Translators, we offer Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE) services as a smart, middle-ground solution that combines the best of both worlds. We leverage the immense power of machine translation to generate a rapid initial draft, then combine it with the expertise and creativity of professional human editors. This innovative methodology allows us to deliver accurate, seamless, and culturally appropriate content, making it the ideal choice for businesses seeking to balance speed, quality, and cost.

Our MTPE Methodology: How Do We Work? 

Our MTPE process is far more than simple proofreading — it is a full refinement cycle designed to transform raw machine output into professional and trustworthy content. The process begins by running the source text through our state-of-the-art neural machine translation engines to produce an instant translation. Next, a professional translator and a dedicated human editor review the entire output. The editor compares the translated text to the original to ensure the meaning is accurately conveyed, corrects any grammatical or spelling errors, and standardizes technical terminology. Most importantly, they refine the flow and readability of the text, rephrase any sentence that sounds unnatural or awkward, and ensure the tone and style are perfectly tailored to the target audience.

The Perfect Balance of Speed, Cost, and Quality: When to Choose MTPE?

Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE) is the ideal solution in many scenarios where full human translation is impractical or unnecessary. If you have massive amounts of content that need rapid translation, such as thousands of product descriptions for an e-commerce website, knowledge base articles, or customer reviews, MTPE offers unparalleled speed. It is also an excellent option for translating internal company documents or content with a short lifecycle. This service offers significantly higher quality than initial machine translation output, at a lower cost and faster turnaround time than traditional human translation, making it an economical and efficient solution for large translation projects.

High-Quality Results, Tailored Specifically for You

While machine translation is the starting point, our commitment to delivering high-quality results remains unwavering. At House of Translators, we refine machine-generated translations to meet our rigorous standards. This service is specifically designed to meet the needs of businesses and individuals, allowing us to tailor the required level of editing based on the nature and importance of the content. Whether you need minor editing to ensure general understanding or complete editing to make the text read as if it were originally written in the target language, we guarantee polished and professional content. We apply our expertise across various industries to ensure the final output is technically accurate and appropriate for your business context.
