Freelance MTPE Translators for Telugu

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.

Primary Requirements

• Speaker of English as source language to full professional proficiency (IRL Level 4)
• Speaker of target language Telugu to native level (IRL Level 5)
• Excellent knowledge of grammar, spelling and punctuation and ongoing engagement with the language.
• Cultural sensitivity and extensive understanding of terminological/cultural nuances.
• Full professional proficiency (IRL Level 4) of English for communication purposes.
• Familiarity with and 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.
• Degree in linguistics, translation or equivalent (plus).
• Linguistic and cultural adeptness of both source and target language.
• Ability to translate content from the source language into the target language with the original meaning conveyed in a manner that is readable and understandable to target audience.
• Advanced knowledge of one or more CAT tools.
• Tech-savvy, ability to use macros.
• A positive attitude towards MT.
• Ability to provide structured feedback to improve the machine translation engine.
• Knowledge of cinema and the film industry (plus).

Please note, only suitable applicants to this role will be contacted to take this further.
