About the workshop

Join us for an in-person workshop on MTPE (machine translation post-editing). The workshop will be language neutral with into-English examples that are, however, applicable to other language pairs. There will be a significant practical portion followed by a discussion.

What you will learn

• A very brief overview over MT systems
• The difference between full PE and light PE and other important definitions
• Skills that post-editors should have
• Which document types are suitable for post-editing and which are NOT
• Expectations in terms of speed and productivity for considerations with respect to rates and pricing
• Various quality metrics and post-editing metrics

Practical Portion

• Machine translation error categories and classifications
• Concrete practical examples of typical MT behavior
• The post-editing workflow in real life
• Providing proper linguistic feedback to MT software engineers

Note: If you have any specific questions that you’d like to see discussed, please email them to the presenter at info@cfbtranslations.com by March 15.
