About
It is not far-fetched to predict that within a short period (one year, two?) MT will provide the majority of translations.
Traditional translation will become less significant and limited to specific fields such as literature. Consequently, post-editors will outnumber traditional translators.
This directory was created by translators for translators facing the profound transformation their industry is going through because of MT.
It is meant to be a promotional tool for translators and a work tool for language service providers or anyone looking for post-editors.
So, it’s nothing fancy but simple and straight to the point.
This will make it much easier for LSPs to find and hire post-editors, guaranteeing not only their professional competencies but, above all, their interest in this type of work, which, unfortunately, even today, many translators consider an undesirable fallback to their vanishing job.
However, history teaches us that technological innovations are inexorable and not only increase productivity and profitability but also improve working conditions.
During this period of transformation, there will undoubtedly be difficulties and setbacks. Still, those who have welcomed the transformation will find themselves in an advantageous position.
