Human translation
Our standard service is a fully human translation performed by an experienced translator. We work on the basis of thorough research, linguistic preparation and proofreading according to the four eyes principle.
Advantages:
- Linguistic fluency, stylistic coherence and terminological precision
- Quality that characterises the level of certified translators
- Capable of being certified for use by courts and authorities
If the translated document needs to be certified, we would like to be informed in advance, as special formalities apply.
Machine translation with full post-editing – 75 % of standard rate
Combines neural machine translation (NMT) with extensive post-editing by an experienced translator. All linguistic, stylistic and structural errors are corrected for an output that is largely equivalent to human translation.
Full post-editing includes:
- Correcting grammatical and spelling errors
- Correcting machine translation-induced errors
- Rephrasing misleading sentences
- Enforcing consistent terminology to a certain extent
- Making stylistic and syntactical improvements
- Optimising sentence structures
- Thorough review after editingGrundig gennemlæsning efter redigering
If the translated document is subsequently to be certified, an additional quality check is required to ensure full compliance with the source text.
Machine translation with light post-editing – 50 % of standard rate
A budget-friendly alternative, combining NMT with targeted but less comprehensive post-editing. Sentences are rephrased only if the meaning is unclear.
Light post-editing includes:
- Correcting grammatical and spelling errors
- Correcting machine translation-induced errors
- Rephrasing misleading sentences
- Enforcing consistent terminology to a certain extent
Light post-editing ensures a correct and comprehensible text, but without the full linguistic refinement and comprehensive review included in full post-editing.
