When is MTPE the right choice for your translation project?

Integrating sophisticated machine-translation tools like Google Translate into the translation process gives companies a new dimension in editing texts. These tools use powerful neural networks to constantly improve the precision and fluency of translations, providing a solid foundation for MTPE.

When should you opt for MTPE?

MTPE (machine translation plus post-editing) is an excellent choice for large quantities of text with a quick turnaround, such as user manuals, support documents and internal comunication.

The advantages of machine translation

1. Quick: Using MT makes it possible to translate texts much more quickly. Manually translating large volumes of text can take days, while MTPE makes turnarounds possible in a matter of hours.
2. Cost-effective: MTPE significantly reduces costs by automating the first draft of the translation, with only the fine-tuning at the end undertaken by hand.
3. Scalable: Machine translation can be seamlessly scaled to match the need for more languages and larger volumes of texts – ideal for companies expanding quickly.
4. Consistent: Automated tools ensure consistent terminology, which is crucial for large projects spread across multiple documents.
5. Adaptive and capable of learning: Modern MT systems adapt to integrate corrections made, constantly improving and optimising how they handle specialised terminology.
6. Affordable: MTPE allows even small businesses with limited budgets to overcome language barriers and enter new markets.

Our MTPE process: From analysis to perfection

What you can expect from Linguarum

Linguarum’s MTPE process starts with meticulous pre-processing and analysis of the source text. We use state-of-the-art translation software to ascertain the specific requirements of your project and build a firm foundation for the machine translation.

For the translation itself, we use two leading machine-translation systems, DeepL and AGT. If the translation is from Russian into English, for example, a specific translation programme will be built into a powerful translation tool, optimised especially for the challenges of language combinations like Russian/English. Combining these technologies allows us to carry out the automated part of the translation efficiently and accurately.

Our system provides access to 29 languages – the quality of the translation may vary depending on the language combination, but our experts will spot any errors to be ironed out. Some language variants will affect processing times and costs.

After the machine translation comes post-editing by native-speaking translators. Our experts check and refine the text to make sure that not only is it correct from a language point of view, but also that the content has been translated properly. This step is crucial in guaranteeing the integrity and accuracy of your translated content.

Finally, the fully translated text will be made available in your chosen format. This whole process guarantees high quality and subject-specific precision by bringing together state-of-the-art technology with human expertise.

Prices for your excellent MTPE service

Our MTPE service is a cost-effective solution with much more competitive pricing than a traditional translation process. With savings of up to 35% compared with standard Business translations, our approach combining machine translation, post-editing and quality assurance makes it possible to reduce costs to as little as 65% of conventional methods.

Linguarum’s MTPE price calculator for transparent costs

Our user-friendly online price calculator allows you to estimate the cost of your translation project quickly and easily in just 5 simple steps:

1. Upload the document to be translated (.docx, .xlsx or .pdf format).
2. Choose your languages.
3. Choose your subject area.
4. Choose your desired MTPE package.
5. Place your order.

Not only does our price calculator help you calculate costs, it can also produce a detailed quote. It automatically identifies file formats and languages, and can check your source text for errors and inconsistencies in order to present you with the best quote possible.

MTPE and post-editing: The perfect blend for the highest quality

MTPE combines machine translation with human post-editing to deliver top-quality translations. Machine translation processes large volumes of text to produce a first draft, while post-editing refines this with human expertise.

Our native-speaking translators improve the accuracy, style and consistency, and can adapt the text to suit cultural and contextual requirements.

MTQE (Maschine translation + Quality control + Editing)

MTQE builds on MTPE by adding intensive quality control!

This process combines state-of-the-art technology with rigorous checks by humans to ensure that translations meet the required linguistic and industry-specific standards. MTQE is ideal for highly sensitive documents where precision, consistency and the highest quality are critical.

Neural machine translation: Smart solutions for the future

The future of translation lies in neural networks!

Statistical machine translation (SMT) has taken huge leaps forward in recent years, but neural machine translation (NMT) is the next seismic shift in the translation industry.

NMT uses artificial intelligence (AI) and neural networks to better understand the complexity of human language and produce translations that are more natural, more fluent and more precise than ever before. We use these improvements to help our clients worldwide in an ever more closely connected world.

Advantages of neural machine translations

• More accurate: NMT captures nuances and context better, delivering translations that are closer to the original text.
• More readable: NMT translations sound more natural and more fluent, making them easier to understand and more enjoyable to read.
• Better at handling complex content: NMT is better at dealing with complex syntax, idiomatic expressions, and specialist terminology.
• Constantly improving: NMT systems learn from constant training and are always getting better and better.

NMT: The future of translation is here!

Linguarum uses state-of-the-art NMT technology to offer our clients translations of the highest quality.

Application advice for machine translations

When is machine translation especially useful?

Machine translation is ideal if:

• You need to translate large volumes of text that don’t require immaculate quality.
• You need texts for internal purposes where comprehension is key, and questions of style are less important.

When is machine translation not the best solution?

For us, the limits and disadvantages are clear when it comes to:

• Marketing translations tailored to specific target groups.
• Translations of websites, where correctly reproducing your brand image is crucial.
• Specialised texts in sensitive fields like medicine, law and technology where imprecision can have serious consequences.
• UX and UI texts that depend heavily on context and where user experience is key.
• Texts with homonyms – words that are written the same but have different meanings – which could cause confusion.
• Translations of culturally sensitive expressions, figures of speech, slang and humour, which are often difficult to convey correctly.
