Revision of an existing machine translation

What does revision entail?

For us to be able to help you with revision, you need to provide us with the translated content. You might have a plug-in for MT on your website, which is able to machine-translate content into a variety of languages, for example. A common scenario in such cases is that customers complain about the poor quality of the content. That’s where we come in! We have professional translators that have vast experience in reviewing such content. By opting for revision rather than having the machine-translated content redone completely, you can get results quicker.

Our reviewers will review the machine-translated content and check grammar, sentence structure, terminology etc. The increase in quality is considerable and your customers will notice the difference right away.
We can, of course, provide the machine translation as well, which you can read more about on our page about machine translation.

Context matters

A common error you might’ve spotted with machine-translations, is that the machine has trouble understanding the context. The consequence is usually that the translation becomes inconsistent, where one term might be translated in different ways within the same paragraph. A huge advantage of revision is that a human can spot such details and adjust them accordingly. The result will therefore be a more cohesive text.

The correct service-type for each purpose

At Fasttranslator we can offer a variety of service-types in order to help you with all of your language needs. Machine-translation is a great option when you need a translation quickly, and the text is supposed to be used internally or the content is very simple. If you deem the machine-translation to be subpar, we offer revision. While proofreading isn’t comparable to a human translation, it is a considerable improvement compared to a raw machine-translation.
