What is ISO 18587?
AISO 18587 is a new international standard that specifies requirements for the post-editing of the output of machine translation. The standard describes how a translator modifies and finalizes AI-generated text depending on accuracy, tone, and context, corresponding to translation done by a human.
- Specific to post-editing of machine translation output (not machine-generated translation or raw machine translation)
- Describes processes, skills, and quality measures needed to achieve a professional standard
- Requires certified agencies to use established upholdable post-editing processes for a project
The Importance of ISO 18587
Advancements in AI and machine translation have been a game-changer for organizations utilizing multilingual content. However, raw machine-generated content generally lacks the contextual depth and precision needed in a professional environment. ISO 18587 provides a solution to respond to these challenges and supports agencies in providing reliable and high-quality post-edited translations.
- Ensures that post-edited content is complete, correct, and culturally appropriate
- Confirms the agency's efforts at the time of quoting to follow current standards for AI-driven language services
- Supports client trust when delivering complex or large-scale translation/data annotation projects
