Acquire a new skill, improve your productivity, and become credentialed!
ProZ.com is hosting this online certification to become a professional Posteditor of Machine Translation (PEMT). This online training will give you the tools you need to confidently work on postediting assignments or use postediting to speed up your own translation process. And also become certified!
The training course prepares translators and linguists to exercise different routines and procedures to acquire the skills needed to become competent and successful in the new world of postediting machine-translation output. It covers quality assurance to achieve human quality from MT output as well as exercises on how to complete light postediting assignments when the client’s requests are just a “good enough” deliverable. You will practice postediting of real machine-translated texts at different output qualities.
You will work with the tools needed to complete postediting assignments or use postediting to speed up your own translation process. We will talk and work on quality in the context of productivity. You will practice postediting to meet different quality expectations, from “light postediting” requested by clients “for information purposes” only, to achieving “human quality” by completing “full postediting” of the MT output. We will review error categories, how to correct them, and how to adhere to the service scope requested by each client.
