jälkieditoitiin

Jälkieditoitiin is a Finnish word that translates to "post-edited" in English. It specifically refers to the process of editing content that has already been translated by an automated machine translation system. This human intervention is crucial for improving the quality, accuracy, and naturalness of the machine-translated text.

The process of post-editing involves a human linguist reviewing the raw machine translation output. They identify and correct errors in grammar, syntax, vocabulary, and meaning. The goal is to ensure the translated text is not only understandable but also conveys the intended message with the same nuance and tone as the original source material. Post-editing is a key component of modern translation workflows, particularly for businesses and organizations that require large volumes of text to be translated efficiently. It strikes a balance between the speed of machine translation and the accuracy and quality that only human expertise can provide. This approach is often more cost-effective and faster than traditional human translation for certain types of content.
