MTPE机器翻译译后编辑
MTPE is the service in which a professional linguist corrects machine-translated output to a predefined quality target, usually described as light or full post-editing. In localization contracts, rate cards, and workflow documentation, MTPE appears as a distinct option and pricing category, separate from translation, revision, and ordinary human editing, because the input quality and editing limits differ materially.

Where this term appears
MTPE appears in client requests for pricing, in translation management systems where a machine translation step is enabled, and in linguistic instructions that set light or full editing expectations. It also shows up in non-disclosure and data-processing discussions because content is first sent directly to an external MT engine.
Translation checks
Some clients request MTPE but still expect human translation quality across creative or marketing text, which can make the service impossible to scope. Conversely, linguists may sometimes over-edit machine output, erasing the speed benefit, or under-edit due to ambiguous guidelines, leaving inconsistent terminology in the final published product.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Creative and consumer content needs accurate meaning as well as tone and context. Subtitles, interfaces and voice scripts also require checks for timing, character limits and pronunciation.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
