Machine Translation Post-Editing

Transforming Automated Output into Legally Sound Texts

At Kalite Legal, we understand the growing role of machine translation (MT) technologies in today’s fast-paced global business and legal environments.

While automated tools can accelerate multilingual communication, they cannot replace human expertise — especially when it comes to the precision and contextual sensitivity required for legal language.

That’s where our Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE) service comes in.

Our certified legal linguists combine advanced editing skills with years of domain-specific experience to review, refine, and perfect machine-translated content, ensuring that it meets both linguistic and legal standards.

Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE) is the process of revising and improving texts produced by automated translation engines.

Instead of translating from scratch, our experts take the raw machine output and:

1. • Correct grammar, syntax, and punctuation errors
   • Adjust terminology and phrasing for legal precision
   • Ensure contextual consistency and clarity
   • Verify compliance with relevant legal frameworks and client-specific requirements

This approach allows clients to benefit from the speed of machine translation without compromising on quality, accuracy, or confidentiality.

At Kalite Legal, we follow a structured, ISO 17100-compliant workflow:

1. Initial Machine Translation (MT): Source content is pre-translated using a secure, client-approved MT engine.
2. Human Post-Editing: A senior legal linguist revises every sentence, ensuring the output accurately reflects the source meaning and adheres to the target legal context.
3. Linguistic & Legal Review: A second editor performs an in-depth proofreading and consistency check, focusing on style, terminology, and compliance.
4. Final Quality Assurance: Our QA specialists run automated and manual checks to ensure the document meets our stringent Kalite Quality Standards.

• Legal contracts and agreements
• Court and arbitration documents
