As global communication accelerates, machine translation (MT) has become a popular tool for translating content quickly. However, while tools like Google Translate, DeepL, and Microsoft Translator can generate a basic translation, they often miss the context, tone, and cultural nuance that human readers expect. That’s where Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE) comes in.
At Bhasa Nepal Pvt. Ltd., we specialize in MT post-editing services, combining the speed of machine translation with the accuracy and fluency of professional human editing. Our expert linguists review, correct, and enhance machine-generated text to ensure it meets industry, linguistic, and cultural standards.
What Is Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE)?
Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE) is the process of refining and improving content that has been automatically translated by a machine translation engine. Unlike simple proofreading, post-editing involves deep linguistic and contextual analysis to fix grammatical errors, awkward phrasing, and cultural inaccuracies.
There are two main levels of MTPE:
- Light Post-Editing:
Focuses on basic corrections to ensure the text is understandable and accurate, without stylistic enhancements.Best for: Internal communications, technical manuals, or content with short lifecycles. - Full Post-Editing:
Involves a thorough linguistic and stylistic review, ensuring the text reads naturally and aligns with your brand voice.Best for: Marketing materials, legal contracts, websites, and publication-ready documents.
At Bhasa Nepal, our editors choose the right post-editing depth based on your project goals, audience, and language pair.
Why MT Post-Editing Matters
While machine translation tools have improved dramatically with neural machine translation (NMT) and AI-based systems, they still make mistakes—especially with complex or specialized texts. Common issues include:
- Incorrect terminology in technical or legal contexts
- Poor sentence structure or unnatural phrasing
- Mistranslations of idioms or cultural expressions
- Inconsistent style and tone across the document
MT post-editing ensures that your translated text:
- Reads naturally to native speakers
- Preserves the intended meaning and tone
- Meets professional translation quality standards (ISO 18587:2017)
- Is ready for official, publication, or client-facing use
By integrating human expertise with machine efficiency, MTPE delivers the best of both worlds—speed and precision.
