Artificial intelligence has started to affect pretty much every business sector, and the translation industry is no exception. The future of post-editing, the revision of a machine translation by a human translator, is therefore closely linked to that of AI.
Post-editing, a service which is being promoted more and more by translation agencies, is carried out by a professional translator with the aim of optimising the quality and accuracy of the document in question.
Postediting is becoming an increasingly popular option for translation companies, a trend which can be explained by improvements in the quality of machine translations.
Contrary to popular belief, post-editing does not always save time. It all depends on the type of text, how it is written and the quality of the machine translation.
