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  • The objective is knowledge of the essential content of a particular text (i.e., not for publication)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)

The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Central Europe, has had a contractual relationship with Afford since 2009. Generally, we request the translation of complicated legal texts, often with very short deadlines. We always get quality work that holds our long-standing working relationship together. We especially appreciate the high degree of flexibility, customer orientation and personalized, custom administration, as well as the confidential treatment of materials sent. It is important that we can always count on Afford. Moreover, Afford is open to criticism and suggestions for improvement, and requests these, because they are progress-oriented.
