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.

"One of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies selected espell as a key translation partner for more than 50 language combinations. The volumes sent our way scaled up very rapidly, so our team had to deal with a massive, 150% increase in translation volumes within a rather short time. To address this challenge, we built a dedicated PM-team to support the client with day-to-day communication, we developed the appropriate quality assurance procedures and synchronized the work of multiple language teams. Dozens of professionals work together in scores of projects every week running in parallel to ensure the highest service level and linguistic quality."
