Machine translation post-editing (MTPE)
Post-editing (PE) is an Essential Part of Machine Translation (MT). Post-editing is when a human translator reviews, corrects and improves a machine-generated translation.
It’s an essential process because, while machine translations are fast, they’re usually lacking in quality, accuracy, conviction and style.
