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.

 

 

■ 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.

Price

Post-edit fees vary depending on the translation volume, quality of the source text, and the presence of translation memory.
After conducting a quality definition with a translation sample, we will provide a separate estimate.

 

■ Model Fees

Translation from Japanese to English
If the translation rate per person is 13 yen

Full Edit 9.1 yen (30% reduction compared to human translation)

* Assuming that 100,000 characters per month are machine-translated into English at a rate of 13 yen per character and then executed light-edit.

* The usage and implementation costs of the machine translation system are not included.
