Post-editing / proofreading of machine translation
Many companies nowadays already use freely available and professional machine translators, which provide sufficient use within their internal processes. If a company wants publish its translations, it must first have these texts edited and proofread by a professional translator.
Why is post-editing / proofreading of machine translation necessary?
An unedited machine translation may contain serious flaws such as confusion of meaning, omission of words or parts of text, inconsistent terminology, etc. For this reason, the machine translation should be carefully checked.
The linguistic style of machine translation is very simple and austere. For translations where a creative style is needed (presentation materials, websites, etc.), it is therefore advisable to carefully adapt this machine translation to the intended use.
