Position Summary

Deluxe is currently looking for post-editing translators who are highly proficient in post-editing and have the required key competencies to review work quality of post-edits as well as provide expertise to help improve the quality of MT.

Post-editing involves comparing the machine-generated translation to the source text and making necessary adjustments to ensure accuracy, fluency, and adherence to specific style or terminology requirements.

The expectation is that the outcome will be a text that is not only understandable but presented in a stylistically appropriate way. The quality is expected to be a “full post-edit” that flows well and is idiomatic. The mental process and the cognitive load of the task involved are completely different from translation.

The role of a post-editor combines that of a proofreader and a linguistic reviewer. The post-editor not only corrects spelling, grammar and punctuation issues, but also modifies machine-translated sentences that sound clunky, make use of incorrect terminology or relate an inaccurate concept.

• Full professional proficiency (IRL Level 4) of English for communication purposes.
• Familiarity with, and an excellent comprehension of, a wide variety of dialects and accents from around the world.
• Minimum 2 years’ experience translating and reviewing content as a Post editor.
• Performing MTPE evaluation and validation as required.
• Is a plus : Degree in linguistics, translation or equivalent.
• Linguistic and cultural adeptness of both source and target language.
• Ability to translate content from the source language into the target language with original meaning conveyed in a manner that is readable and understandable to target audience
• Advanced knowledge of one or more CAT tools
