How does machine translation work, who uses it and for what purposes?
What is post-editing and how can I start using it?
My workshop aims to give answers to these questions and provide greater clarity about this new and promising field. I will also offer useful suggestions for starting to work with post-editing in a confident and profitable manner.
By the end of the workshop
- You will be familiar with the most common machine translation systems in detail and will be able to manage a post-editing assignment from enquiry to delivery.
- You will have the tools and contents necessary for deepening your knowledge of machine translation and post-editing and will be able to carry out these activities independently.
