Workflow that achieves cost reduction and shortened delivery time while maintaining translation quality
"Even if machine translation is introduced for the purpose of cost reduction, will post-editing increase costs?"
Many customers have such concerns.
Certainly, if too much time is spent on post-editing, there is no point in using machine translation. It is important to determine the quality criteria for post-editing that achieve cost and time reduction while meeting quality requirements.
The workload of "post-editing" varies depending on the desired quality requirements.
Is it sufficient for the content to be accurately conveyed, or is fluency and readability also required?
We will propose the optimal post-editing method that suits your budget, schedule, and quality requirements.
■ Workflow of Post-edit
■ Quality Definition
Before starting the post-editing process, we will discuss with the client the level of correction to be made for each project.
At Human Science Co., Ltd., we offer two types of post-editing services: "Light Edit" and "Full Edit," depending on the level of correction required for the translated text.
Light Edit | Full Edit | |
---|---|---|
Quality level | No mistranslations or omissions | No mistranslations or omissions Fluent Consistent terminology and style |
Cost | Cheap | Expensive |
Cost and delivery time reduction from manual translation |
50-90% reduction | 20-50% reduction |
Purpose of the translation | SNS Online support Internal documents (speed, cost-oriented) |
Catalog User manual (quality focused) |
■ Quality Management Guidelines
Once the desired quality is determined, we will create guidelines so that all workers can share them.
By adopting a common policy and aligning the recognition of all workers to prevent excessive revisions, we will achieve quality assurance and efficiency.
You do not have to maintain a machine translation engine; we take care of everything
Human Science Co., Ltd. uses an engine to provide "machine translation processing + post-editing" services in one package.
We can propose the optimal workflow and operation method for machine translation engines, utilizing translation support tools (such as SDL Trados Studio / Memsource / MemoQ) and past translation assets such as translation memories. Please feel free to consult with us.
