#PostEditing

2025-03-31

Question for my fellow freelance translators: Do you do post-editing or do you refuse on principle? If you do take post-editing work, do you charge a higher hourly rate (than, say, for revising layout proofs of your own work)?

I've managed to avoid post-editing thus far, but a long-time client just asked me to proof a document they "translated internally." Not quite sure what to do going forward.

Using LLMs as evaluators looks like a very interesting and promising direction, enabling simpler automatic post-editing pipelines. For those interested in fine-grained MT evaluation and APE, I recommend checking out this paper by Lu et al. (2024): arxiv.org/abs/2409.14335

Do you edit your longer posts? To make sure that you’re under the word count and the post still made sense.

Today, exactly one year since I launched #Fairslator, I am launching a parallel project called CAPE·MT (Computer-Aided #PostEditing of #MachineTranslation) for translators who want to make their #MTPE work less boring. cape.mt/

Edited post notifications have informed me that an art piece sold once the poster stated exactly that.

It looks like editing a post is not rsally changing it, not even for people seeing it several hours after it’s been edited. This seems an incomplete if not broken Mastodon function.

I just read that Mastodon will get a post editing feature. Why? There is more bad than good to it. #Mastodon #PostEditing
