Service description
Full post-editing is aimed at achieving final quality that is similar, comparable, or equal to human translation. The goal of light post-editing is good enough quality for the intended purpose.
There are also even “lighter” post-editing processes, aimed at improving the accuracy and usability of long-tail content. These apply targeted QA checks that detect and rectify recurring issues.
Benchmarks and metrics like MT scores, LQA and edit distance, or more comprehensive A:B testing can be used to verify assumptions and fine-tune QA techniques. They also provide feedback for engine optimization.

"As a localization partner for clients in the field of PR and advertising, it is very important to be flexible, creative, open and proactive, while serving the client's needs in all aspects and tailoring new strategies, workflows and pricing structures to the actual needs. When our client asked for a complex technical and localization solution different from previous tasks, based on regular and close consultations with the client, we worked out an effective technical workflow and at the same time an attractive pricing structure that would allow us to offer an efficient solution for handling new file formats and high volumes, as well as to introduce new language combinations, according to the criteria specified. Keeping in mind the aspects of our long-term cooperation, our goal was not only to offer an effective solution to the client's needs in the actual project, but also to be applicable in the long term when similar tasks arise."
