AIEdit: When Humans Fine-tune AI Translations

Artificial intelligence has revolutionized many fields, and translation is no exception. AI-powered neural machine translation engines have made remarkable progress in recent years. They offer unprecedented speed and efficiency, particularly ideal for internal use or for gaining a general understanding of texts not intended to be shared.

However, when it comes to professional documents or those intended for an external audience, a crucial question arises: how can we be sure that an AI-generated translation is accurate if no one checks it?

Despite their impressive performance, AI translations can have certain shortcomings:
1 • Lack of cultural nuances and subtleties
2 • Contextual errors
3 • Difficulty in grasping the meaning behind certain expressions
4 • Risk of misinterpretation
These limitations can compromise the quality and impact of the message, particularly in a professional context where precision is paramount.

With this in mind, Birdwell has developed AIEdit, an innovative solution that combines the advantages of AI-assisted translation with the irreplaceable expertise of human translators.

How does our AIEdit solution work?

1 • Sending your documents: You upload your source and target documents – pre-translated by your machine translation engine – to your customer area on our exchange platform.

2 • Expert review: A native translator of the target language, specialized in the field, carefully compares and checks the source document and the AI-generated translation, and makes any necessary changes.

3 • Quality control: Additional checks are carried out to ensure the text is consistent, complies with your glossary, and is free of spelling and syntax errors.

4 • Delivery: The translated and checked documents are made available to you on our exchange platform. 

The benefits of AIEdit

• Flexibility: Using a prepaid pack system, customers can send their files directly via our customer portal, without having to go through the quotation stage.
• Speed: Editing a text already translated by AI is considerably faster than translating from scratch.
• Quality: Having a human translator-reviser in the loop guarantees a higher quality end result than a simple machine translation.
• Consistency of terminology: The translators will respect the terminology specific to each field and company, as long as this has been provided to us.
• Savings: This service is faster and less expensive than a standard translation, especially if you choose the prepaid pack option.

AIEdit is a synergy between artificial intelligence and human expertise. This approach takes the most of both worlds:

• The speed and efficiency of AI to produce a first draft of the translation

• The finesse and expertise of human translators to fine-tune and guarantee final quality
