oneMTPE: our effective process for professional machine translation<\/h1><\/div>

Professional communication and translation processes require clear workflows and need to be handled efficiently. That is why we have developed oneServices, a “construction kit” of services and tools for effective and productive processes. In our blog series, we present them one by one.<\/p>\n<\/div>

oneMTPE \u2013 our service for using machine translation efficiently at a professional corporate level \u2013 follows on from our online correction platform oneReview<\/a>, our terminology management system oneTerm<\/a> and our order and customer portal oneTask<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>

What is MTPE again?<\/h4><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>

Machine translation (MT) now makes it possible to produce translations in many languages quickly and inexpensively. The results are usually of an acceptable quality and are suitable for retrieving information quickly and for communicating within your company in different languages. However, to date, no MT system is capable of producing consistent translations with no errors or deviations.<\/p>\n

To ensure that MT can be used professionally in a corporate context, post-editing (PE) comes into play: this is an essential additional step in which machine-produced pre-translations are checked and edited by trained translators and linguists. Therefore, the overall process is called machine translation + post-editing (MTPE<\/a>) \u2013 the optimal combination of AI-based technology and human expertise.<\/p>\n

We also recently described the advantages of MTPE \u2013 “good, fast, cheap” \u2013 in a guest article for the tekom\u2019s iiBlog<\/a> (only available in German).<\/p>\n<\/div>

What is oneMTPE?<\/h4><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>

oneMTPE<\/a> is our ISO-certified service, which now benefits numerous companies of all sizes and in all industries. It combines all the advantages, possibilities and services of MTPE in a centralised and standardised process that helps to reduce costs and save time while ensuring the quality you expect.<\/p>\n<\/div>

How does oneMTPE work?<\/h4><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
The process consists of five important steps:<\/h6><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
#1 Setting criteria and targets<\/h6><\/div>

We combine your professional expertise as the sender and our linguistic and technological expertise. Together, we determine the desired end result and which systems (MT engine, CAT tool, terminology database, etc.) will be used to achieve the required quality and an optimal workflow.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
#2 Feasibility analysis<\/h6><\/div>

Using our oneMTPE analysis, we check whether a text and the relevant specifications are suitable for MTPE, what output quality can be achieved with different engines and what the actual value for money looks like.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
#3 Terminology structure and corporate language<\/h6><\/div>

Readily available, generic MT systems cannot map a company\u2019s specific vocabulary. And even with trainable engines, compliance with terminology is not always guaranteed. This makes terminology management<\/a> even more essential for achieving quality in the post-editing phase that follows the machine translation. We compile your industry-specific vocabulary and your specific corporate language as a terminology base so that the human translators and the machine can access it.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
#4 Post-editing<\/h6><\/div>

Our post-editing process is certified to DIN ISO 18587<\/a> and follows the core translator principle. To enhance the quality of the output and create a sustainable MT workflow, the post-editing process evaluates errors, records terminology and provides systematic feedback.
\nThe aim of post-editing is to achieve \u201chuman parity\u201d, meaning that the result should not differ from a human translation.
\nnd.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
#5 Style guides and guidelines<\/h6><\/div>

Perfect translations require good specifications and foundations. Just as a good meal is based on a good recipe, our guidelines and style guides help to establish specific rules and style specifications for your company and everyone involved in the process. This means that the quality of the text can be reproduced, is sustainable and, most importantly, does not depend on individual people.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div>
<\/div>
