MTPE and quality checks
A human check, at the level the text needs.
Some texts need a full translation, edit and proofread. Some need a careful post-edit of machine output. We name the level before we start, and we do not pretend they are the same job.
- The level of review is written down

Questions
Is post-editing cheaper?
Often, when the machine output is good enough. If it is not, we say so and quote a full translation.
Do you train public AI on our files?
No.
