1. Definition of MTPE
MTPE stands for Machine Translation Post-Editing. It refers to the standardized workflow where industry-customized machine translation engines generate initial draft translations in batches, followed by professional human linguists conducting comprehensive revision, correction, terminology unification and linguistic polishing. MTPE strikes a perfect balance among turnaround speed, service cost and delivery quality, which has become the mainstream translation solution for technical documentation, software localization, game scripts, patent documents and corporate bulk materials worldwide.

2. Our Full MTPE Standard Workflow
Step 1: Pre-translation Document Preparation
Our project team sorts out source files, cleans messy codes, redundant contents and irregular sentence structures. We load exclusive project translation memories, glossaries and style guides customized for industries including legal affairs, patents, IT software, game localization and biomedicine, locking unified wording specifications in advance to avoid inconsistent terminology throughout the whole text.
Step 2: Professional Machine Translation Draft Generation
We deploy domain-specific neural machine translation engines instead of general public MT tools. Targeted engines are adopted for different industries to guarantee basic semantic accuracy, structural rationality and logical integrity of the first draft, realizing fast batch generation of large-volume texts.
Step 3: Primary Post-Editing (Error Correction)
Specialized translators conduct line-by-line inspection to fix typical machine translation defects: misinterpretation, reversed logic, grammatical mistakes, incorrect numbers, distorted proper nouns, mistranslation of technical parameters and incoherent sentences, ensuring the translated text fully conforms to the original meaning without semantic deviation.
Step 4: Advanced Polishing & Stylistic Optimization
Senior linguists polish expressions, adjust sentence fluency, optimize readability, unify paragraph logic, revise rigid machine-style wording, and align texts with target-language writing habits. For UI texts, game copy and marketing materials, we further tune phrasing to fit local cultural contexts.
Step 5: Final QA Inspection & Delivery
Quality control specialists conduct final random checking against three standards: accuracy, consistency and readability. We retain original formatting such as layout, labels and typesetting, and deliver finished editable documents as requested.
