The Application of Machine Translation Plus Post-Editing in Legal Translations: The Advantages of Arrow Translation
As globalization continues to grow, multilingual legal matters are becoming increasingly common. For lawyers and law firms, handling multilingual documents and cross-border legal issues is not only about ensuring translation accuracy and compliance but also managing high costs and tight deadlines. In this context, the combination of Machine Translation (MT) and Machine Translation Plus Post-Editing (MTPE) has emerged as an effective solution to these challenges. With Arrow Translation’s advanced technology and vast experience in legal translation, clients can now benefit from an efficient, accurate, and cost-effective translation service.
What is Machine Translation Plus Post-Editing (MTPE)?
Machine Translation Plus Post-Editing (MTPE) combines the speed and efficiency of AI-driven machine translation with the accuracy and refinement of human editing. In the first step, Machine Translation provides a rapid, preliminary translation of the text using artificial intelligence. Afterward, a professional human editor revises, proofreads, and polishes the content to ensure it meets the required legal standards and client needs.
For legal translations, the combination of machine translation and post-editing is especially critical. Legal documents often contain complex industry-specific terminology, legal language, and intricate sentence structures. While machine translation can offer a fast initial translation, it often lacks the nuanced understanding needed to accurately capture legal terms and concepts. Arrow Translation’s advantage lies not only in its cutting-edge machine translation technology but also in its expert editing team that understands legal terminology and is able to correct any errors in the machine-generated translation to ensure full compliance with legal standards.
The Advantages of MTPE at Arrow Translation
- Cost Reduction
Legal translations can be expensive, particularly when dealing with large volumes of documents. Arrow Translation’s MTPE service significantly reduces costs. Machine Translation is always more affordable than relying solely on human translators since human translators typically charge high rates. By reducing the amount of manual work required, MTPE cuts down on the time spent by human translators, resulting in lower overall costs. This cost-saving benefit is particularly advantageous in legal contexts, where legal translators, who are often lawyers themselves, command premium fees.
- Ensuring High-Quality Legal Translations
Legal documents need to be precise, as even small errors could result in serious consequences. Arrow Translation’s post-editing team is composed of experienced professionals who not only have extensive language skills but also a deep understanding of legal procedures and terminology. By combining machine translation with human expertise, Arrow Translation ensures that each translation adheres to the highest standards of legal accuracy. Whether it’s for contracts, court documents, or other legal materials, clients can rest assured that their translations are legally compliant and professionally executed.
- Handling Large Data Sets
Modern legal cases often involve substantial amounts of discovery, including emails, spreadsheets, contracts, and other documents. These large datasets can overwhelm traditional translation processes. Machine Translation, however, is perfect for handling high volumes of content due to its efficiency. MTPE allows lawyers to control the level of post-editing needed and identify which sections of the translation should be prioritized for refinement. This approach enables Arrow Translation to quickly translate large data sets while maintaining cost efficiency and reducing turnaround times—especially crucial when working under tight deadlines.
- Faster Review Process
When relying solely on human translators, lawyers typically have to wait until the entire project is completed before reviewing the translated materials. With MTPE, however, lawyers can access the machine-translated content early in the process while the human editor continues to work on it. This “sneak peek” can be extremely beneficial when deadlines are tight, as it allows lawyers to start reviewing the translation and even begin working with it before it’s fully polished. This early access can be a game-changer in time-sensitive legal cases.
- Achieving Specific Style or Accuracy
Using just Machine Translation may not offer clients enough control over the level of accuracy or style in the final translated text. With the addition of human editing, however, the lawyer can provide reference materials to ensure the translation is accurate and stylistically appropriate. For example, reference files can help the editor understand how legal terminology differs across languages. The editor can also use these resources to ensure that the translated document matches the intended tone, whether formal, academic, or tailored to local legal practices. This level of customization ensures that the translation is not only accurate but also aligns with the specific needs of the client or jurisdiction.
