Post-editing machine translation: why even AI does not make translators redundant

Revolutions in the translation sector are often heralded by two letters, such as the launch of translation memories (TM) in the 1990s and the use of machine translation (MT) from the mid-2010s. The trend has been confirmed once again since 2022 with the hype surrounding AI. The language industry generally tends to condense many concepts into two letters to save time and space. From AA for Afar to ZU for Zulu, ISO 639-1 lists a total of 183 two-letter language abbreviations. Many services and processes also have common abbreviations, such as HT for human translation and QA for quality assurance. This is actually interesting behaviour for an industry that thrives on correct language and comprehensibility.

The common thread in the translation process and in standards

In our article on the most important DIN standards in the translation process, we provided an overview of the key standards that are used in the various phases of text creation, translation and terminology work. In view of the growing number of standards covering all steps of the translation process, it is becoming increasingly important not to lose sight of the common thread that ties all of these standards together. In this blog post, we look at the importance of translation project specifications as a unifying element and the central role they play in standards.

Automating translation processes between clients and service providers: what options are there?

A translation is the result of many small steps within a process chain. This begins with commissioning the project, continues with the provision of relevant information and requirements to the service provider, and ends with the delivery of a finished translation. There are some complex intermediate steps where human input is required: this is particularly important when preparing files for translation with translation memory systems or quality checks.

oneCleanup: cleaning up data made easy

Data is the new gold: it's valuable and required for a range of processes, applications and developments. Generative AI in particular is showing once again what large amounts of data can create. But data is also the new rubbish: it appears in a wide variety of places and in large quantities, accumulates quickly, never reduces in size and sometimes grows very uncontrollably. And the bigger the mountain of data, the more difficult it becomes to use it meaningfully. Our oneCleanup service takes on this challenge and helps to uncover the shimmering gold beneath the layer of dirt. We present the background information and details, and we demonstrate why it's high time that databases are seen not as a tangled mess but as treasure troves.
