Question 1

What is the difference between light post-editing and full post-editing?

Accepted Answer

Light post-editing corrects major errors in meaning, terminology, and obvious fluency issues without full stylistic refinement. It is appropriate for internal or high-volume content where the goal is comprehensibility and accuracy — not publication-ready polish. Full post-editing delivers a complete linguistic review — terminology alignment, stylistic refinement, cultural appropriateness, and structured QA validation. It is the right choice for customer-facing, regulated, and publication-ready content where quality cannot be compromised. We assess your content type and recommend the appropriate level before work begins.

Question 2

Can you review translations produced by another agency or AI tool?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We regularly review translations produced by third-party agencies, freelancers, machine translation engines, and AI tools. We treat the source text as the reference and review the translation against it — identifying accuracy errors, terminology inconsistencies, formatting issues, and compliance gaps. For clients who have an existing translation but need confidence before publication or regulatory submission, this is a direct entry point. We can also provide a structured QA report if required.

Question 3

How do you handle post-editing for large volumes with multiple reviewers?

Accepted Answer

For high-volume post-editing projects requiring multiple reviewers simultaneously, we apply shared infrastructure at the project level. All reviewers are connected to the same shared translation memory in real time — every approved correction is immediately available across the team. The shared glossary is enforced at the CAT level, preventing terminology deviation. Centralized QA runs across all reviewer outputs before delivery. The result is consistent output regardless of how many reviewers worked on the project.

Question 4

Is post-editing suitable for legal, medical, or regulated content?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the source and the required output quality. For regulated or compliance-critical content, we apply full post-editing with a stricter review protocol — checking against the source text line by line with a full QA report on request. However, if the underlying MT or AI output quality is poor, full post-editing may require more effort than translating from scratch. We assess the source quality before committing to post-editing for regulated content and advise you honestly on the most efficient approach.
