Machine Translation (MT) with professional post-editing

Machine Translation (or MT) continues to evolve, but its quality is still not capable of reaching the quality of human translations. The result is often meaningless, or appears to have a meaning but is translated incorrectly. This is true not only of Google Translate, used by many people, but also of better, higher-quality industry solutions. Nevertheless, there are translation jobs for which machine translation should be used, primarily for cost-savings.

The more the following conditions apply, the more worthwhile it is to use machine translation:

  • A long text
  • Linguistically simple (not translation work, very simple user instructions)
  • The objective is knowledge of the essential content of a particular text (i.e., not for publication)
  • The speed of the translation is important
  • The rough translation prepared by the computer is reviewed, checked, and improved by professionals (translators, proofreaders)

Abacus Medicine is an ever-growing company with a social goal of providing life-saving medicines to people at a lower price. We only work with qualified, reliable suppliers and strive for long-term partnerships to keep our purpose. We have been cooperating with Afford for 5 years now, we regularly order translations.
As our commercial, networking and knowledge transfer activities become more intense across Europe, we are already translating our leaflets into German and English from 16 different languages (such as Portuguese, Dutch and Lithuanian) with the Afford team.

Our goal is to work with a translation agency that can consistently provide good quality, paying attention to the correct use of pharmaceutical terminology that is very important to us. They have never disappointed us before!

For many years now, whenever we hit a capacity bottleneck, espell has turned to Afford's services. As a budget translation company specifically geared to meet MLV needs, they are reliable and easy to work with (a combination rarely found among the multitude of SLV's). What makes them a favourite of our project managers is that they know Afford's staff understand exactly what we want and what we want to avoid. To this day, after jointly implementing over a hundred projects, they have never failed us.
