When is Light Post Editing or Full Post Editing Worthwhile? Light Post Editing and Full Post Editing can only be combined with Machine Translation. Content-wise, they are similar to proofreading and editing in human translation.

Light Post Editing is particularly suitable for translations of large volumes of text where the focus is more on the information than the style. Experienced translators ensure that the translation by artificial intelligence is correct and complete in terms of essential information.

Full Post Editing is especially useful when texts need to be compelling in terms of writing style, readability, and cultural context. Our experienced translators perform all the tasks of Light Post Editing (grammatical and formal review and correction) and adapt the text linguistically and stylistically to your target audience. The result is a translation indistinguishable from one done by an experienced translator.
Why Do I Need a Proofreading Level for My Translation? Humans make mistakes, and this naturally applies to professional translators and native speakers. Artificial intelligence is also not yet perfected. A second, reviewing look at a translation can therefore be beneficial. For instance, spelling errors can occur in a human translation, and a machine translation may sometimes lack linguistic nuance. With our proofreading levels, we address these sources of error and either correct your text grammatically or optimize it further for your target audience.

If you want to enhance the quality of your translations with a proofreading level, we are happy to assist with personalized advice.
For which languages can I have my translation proofread? We review, correct, and optimize your translations in German, English, Italian, Spanish, French, Chinese, and many other languages. As a rule, you can add a proofreading level to any translation order as an additional service. Simply specify which proofreading level your translation should include when placing your order, and we will create a custom offer based on your requirements. If you’re unsure which type of proofreading makes the most sense for your project, we’re happy to advise you!
