Context
The 300,000-word manuals only needed to be understood by users, and a polished translation was not necessary.
We suggested that Siemens could try a post-edited machine translation (revised by a translator).
To enable the client to compare the results, we carried out a translation test and a post-editing test on the same document.
Our solution
Siemens opted for post-editing, which perfectly suited the needs of the project.
We were thus able to offer a solution that reduced the lead time from 120 working days to 25 working days while offering a saving of 32% on the service and still corresponding fully to the needs of the project.
