What is Post-Editing (MTPE)?

The workflow where a human reviews and corrects machine translation output — the dominant professional translation model today.

In more depth

Light post-editing fixes errors only; full post-editing polishes style. A visual front-end editor makes website MTPE radically cheaper than document-based workflows.

Why it matters for your website

Understanding Post-Editing (MTPE) helps you make better decisions when taking a WordPress site multilingual — from choosing URL structures and engines to controlling costs. Transxlate handles the mechanics (language URLs, lang attributes, caching, hreflang on Pro) so terms like this become settings, not engineering projects.
