EXPERT COURSE

AI & Machine Translation Post-Editing

Although the use of Machine Translation and Artificial Intelligence is now well established in the language services industry, we know that high-quality translation output can only be produced with human input, or rather, with the input of a linguist, through post-editing, which is now an increasingly sought-after service.

How do MT and Large Language Models work? What are the most common mistakes in their translations? How can you improve a text produced by machine translation engines or AI?

Our post-editing course will equip you with the right tools to help your clients maximize the potential of MT and AI post edition.
