AI translation + human editing

AI translation + human editing (machine translation post-editing, MTPE) is translation in two stages: an AI/machine engine makes a draft translation, then a human editor fixes errors, unnatural phrasing, terminology, checks meaning and adapts for readability. Suitable for large volumes, typical/informational texts where speed and budget matter. The work: analyzing the text and its criticality, machine translation, human post-editing, control. Honestly about 'a price/speed compromise, quality lower than premium manual', this is key: MTPE is faster and cheaper than full human translation, but for nuanced, creative, marketing and critical texts the quality is lower than professional manual translation (especially in style, subtleties, creativity). It is a reasonable compromise, not 'the same cheaper'. We honestly position the format as a price/speed/quality balance. Honestly about 'editing is mandatory', this matters: 'raw' machine translation cannot be published — it contains errors, translator's false friends, unnatural constructions, loss of meaning in context. Human post-editing is the mandatory and main part of the service. We do not deliver 'AI without editing'. Honestly about 'not for legal/medical/high-risk': for legal, medical and other texts where an error is critical or there are legal risks, MTPE is not suitable — a full subject-matter human translation with expertise (345) and verification by a specialist is needed. We honestly talk you out of post-editing where it is dangerous. Honestly about 'where the format is appropriate': MTPE is good for large volumes of typical/informational texts (descriptions, support, internal documentation), where the priority is speed and budget at acceptable quality. Honestly about the effect: it gives translation faster and cheaper via MTPE with mandatory human editing, but the quality is lower than premium manual for nuanced/creative/critical texts (a price/speed compromise), editing is mandatory (we do not deliver raw AI), and not for legal/medical/high-risk (there — 345). Honestly about access: the source text and an understanding of its criticality are needed. An important boundary: this is AI translation + editing; full human translation — 345; transcreation — 347; AI content — 431. The base price starts from 300 ₽ per page (depends on the volume and editing complexity).

• A large volume needs translating quickly and cheaply, but 'raw' AI gives errors.
• A misconception that AI+editing = premium manual translation cheaper (quality is lower for nuanced texts).
• A temptation to deliver 'raw' AI translation without editing (errors, false friends, unnaturalness).
• Applying MTPE to legal/medical/high-risk texts where an error is critical.

• Analyzing the text and its criticality (is MTPE suitable)
• A machine draft translation with a suitable engine
• MANDATORY human post-editing (errors, terms, naturalness, meaning)
• Quality and readability control of the result
• An honest assessment: where MTPE is appropriate and where a full subject-matter translation (345) is needed
• Honest boundaries (a price/speed compromise, quality lower than premium manual for nuanced/critical; editing is mandatory — we do not deliver raw AI; NOT for legal/medical/high-risk)
• Documentation and handover
• Review with you

• Translation faster and cheaper (MTPE) with mandatory human editing
• Acceptable quality for large volumes of typical/informational texts
• An honest assessment: is MTPE suitable for your text or a full translation (345) is needed
• Honest boundaries (quality lower than premium manual; not for critical texts)

• We analyze the text and its criticality (is the format suitable)
• Machine translation + mandatory human post-editing and control
• We honestly set boundaries (a compromise, not for the critical) and hand over to you

• Is AI+editing the same quality as manual translation but cheaper?

  No, honestly: MTPE is faster and cheaper, but for nuanced, creative, marketing and critical texts the quality is lower than professional manual translation (especially in style, subtleties, creativity). It is a reasonable price/speed/quality compromise, not 'the same cheaper'. For texts where a high level matters — full human translation (345) is better.

• Can we save and deliver AI translation without editing?

  No, honestly: 'raw' machine translation contains errors, translator's false friends, unnatural constructions and loss of meaning in context — it cannot be published. Human post-editing is the mandatory and main part of the service. We do not deliver AI translation without editing, that would be low-quality and risky.

• Is AI+editing suitable for a legal/medical text?

  No, honestly: for legal, medical and other high-risk texts where an error is critical, MTPE is not suitable — a full subject-matter human translation with expertise (345) and verification by a specialist is needed. We honestly talk you out of post-editing where it is dangerous and propose a suitable format.
