Machine Translation Post-Editing Services
Refined Translations for Global Impact
Enhance your machine-generated translations with expert machine translation post-editing. Our skilled translators assure accuracy and clarity in transforming initial outputs into polished content.
Fast Machine Translation Post Editing Services
Machine translation often produces culturally insensitive expressions. At AsiaLocalize, we deliver professional MT post-editing services that improve the machine-generated content to resonate with your target audience.
We have skilled machine translation post-editors who are native speakers with extensive subject-matter expertise. They use advanced tools that ensure consistency and quality to meet high standards and suit your audience.
Post-editing is not a single service. At its core it is delivered as light or full post-editing, following the distinctions defined in the international ISO 18587 standard for machine-translation post-editing; we add a standard tier between the two for work that needs more than error correction but not publication-grade polish.
When MTPE is not the right choice. We will tell you when post-editing does not fit. Creative and brand copy, where the value sits in the phrasing, is usually faster to translate from scratch than to repair. Highly regulated content, where a mistranslation carries legal or clinical consequence, belongs in full human translation with independent review. Very short texts rarely justify the setup. Where MTPE does fit — large volumes, repetitive structure, tight deadlines and stable terminology — it reduces cost and turnaround substantially without giving up accuracy.
Errors Our Post-Editors Look For
Our skilled editors carefully correct a variety of machine errors for accurate and suitable translations. We cover a broad range of issues, such as:
- Accuracy, mistranslation, and inconsistency.
- Readability, style, and tone.
- Cultural appropriateness and efficiency.
Types of Machine Translation Post-Editing
Light Post-Editing
Our light post-editing service ensures quality translations with few edits. It fixes typos, spelling errors, and grammatical mistakes.
We correct only what affects meaning: mistranslations, omissions, additions, and anything that would confuse or mislead. Style is deliberately left alone, which is what keeps this tier fast and economical. This solution suits:
- Real-time translation projects, such as sports commentary.
- News reporting for fast information delivery.
- Literal translations, including product specifications.
Standard Post-Editing
It is the most customizable form of machine translation editing for projects that require a balance between speed and quality.
It covers everything in light post-editing, plus terminology enforced against your glossary and obvious machine phrasing rewritten, so the result reads as competent business language rather than repaired output. We apply standard post-editing to:
- Projects with short deadlines, such as weekly video subtitles.
- News reporting projects requiring speed and accuracy.
- Statements and announcements for accurate translations.
- Social media posts for fast responses with wording checks.
Full Post-Editing
We provide full post-editing that prioritizes quality that ensures both translation accuracy and adherence to strict editorial standards.
The text is edited until it reads as though a human translator had written it from the start: register, tone, idiom, sentence rhythm and cultural fit are all brought to publication standard. Choose this for anything customer-facing or brand-bearing. This service is for:
- Technical translations, such as financial reports.
- Actionable content, including web pages and CTAs.
- News/blog publishing (e.g., translating articles).
- Important visual content, like infographics and graphs.

Frequently Asked Questions
When Is It Good To Use Machine Translation Post-Editing?
Machine translation post-editing helps save time on large projects, especially for technical translations. Adding the human touch can enhance quality.
How Does Machine Translation Post-Editing Work?
Translators draft content using automated tools and translation memory, then refine it to humanize the message and make it appeal to your audience.
What is the difference between light and full post-editing?
Light post-editing corrects only the errors that affect meaning and leaves style untouched, which keeps it fast and economical. Full post-editing brings the text to the standard of a human translation, including tone, idiom and cultural fit. Our standard tier sits between the two.
Which machine translation engines do you post-edit?
We work with the output of the major neural machine translation engines, and with your own engine if you already have one in place. Where you have no preference we select the engine that performs best on your language pair and content type, because engine quality varies significantly from one pair to another.
Is MTPE cheaper than human translation?
For suitable content, usually yes, because the linguist is editing rather than composing. How much you save depends on how good the raw machine output is for your language pair and subject matter, which is why we assess a sample before quoting rather than applying a flat discount.
