Silicon Valley oracle Tim O鈥橰eilly once declared that 鈥渨hat new technology does is create new opportunities to do a job that customers want done.鈥� The latest, and very powerful, advances in machine translation are indeed a resource to be harnessed 鈥� intelligently, advisedly and proactively 鈥� by language professionals looking to expand their arsenal of marketable skills. Chief among these skills in this context is post-editing, the process by which trained human translators revise and improve machine translation output.

But what exactly are the advantages of post-editing from the point of view of individual translators and language service providers? Does it lead to marked improvements in terms of process (productivity and workflow), product (quality and consistency) and producer (job satisfaction and bottom line)? Are there specific areas where post-editing is particularly useful? What kind of standards and procedures can be drawn on to guide, facilitate and optimize post-editing work? And how can established and aspiring language professionals take advantage of these systems to propel their careers forward?

Come be a part of the conversation, as we sit down with three successful industry professionals and ask them to weigh in on the perks of post-editing.

This is part of an ongoing series of events organized by the 污污草莓视频 Translation Studies Unit to reflect on the future of translation within the broader language industry.
