Service description

You want to know what you are paying for. Rate your vendors. Select the best MT engine or translation workflow for your content and target languages. Define the scope of post-editing. Monitor quality against agreed service levels.

Various techniques are available for MT quality estimation, ranging from automated methods to manual linguistic QA, though their results aren’t always comparable. A quality framework based on error typology helps to reduce subjectivity and eliminate bias in evaluations. The resulting scores can be combined with edit distance and time for comparable aggregate metrics.
