Post-Editing (PE)

Definition

The process of editing machine translation output to achieve acceptable quality. MTPE (Machine Translation Post-Editing) ranges from light PE (fixing only errors) to full PE (achieving human-quality). ISO 18587 defines the standard.

How this shows up in leapCAT

leapCAT's iterative review process is analogous to automated post-editing, with all 7 ISO 5060 MQM dimensions checked across bilingual and monolingual review stages.
