Post-Editing della Traduzione Automatica (MTPE)
Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE) is a hybrid workflow where content is first translated by an AI engine (Machine Translation) and then reviewed and refined by a human linguist (Post-Editing). This combines the speed of AI with the nuance and quality assurance of a human, creating the optimal balance for high-volume content.
The Modern Standard for Scalable Translation
MTPE is the evolution of translation: it's 40-60% faster than human-only translation but dramatically better quality than raw AI. Neural machine translation (NMT) handles 85-90% of the work instantly, and humans focus on fixing idioms, cultural nuances, and brand voice—the 10-15% where AI struggles. This workflow is ideal for high-volume content like product descriptions, help documentation, and news articles. For premium content (marketing campaigns, legal contracts), you might skip MT and use full human translation. For low-stakes content (support tickets), raw MT without editing is acceptable.
