If don't know what is Pandora's box, according to Greek mythology it is a closed box once you open all the evil will come out! Actually, some MT Post-Editing projects remind me of this box, once you open all the evil is coming out, and you have to close it immediately instead of wasting time and effort! If you are working on this kind of projects, carefully check before accepting. Not all of them has an acceptable quality for Post-Editing. You have to make a quick but assertive decision when to proceed with post-editing, and when to stop and propose translation from the start! ▲ Collapse | | |

Marwa, just to make sure— Services: 1. Translation 🖋🔄 2. Transcreation 🎨 3. Website localization 🌐 4. Subtitling 🎞 5. MT Post-Editing🔍🖊 So, is your remark about some specific moments or a warning in general? For what it’s worth, every Buyer eventually finds her Seller. Besides, having the original paper and MT prompts sometimes might do good in routine or techy texts. Meanwhile, if a no-businessperson deliberately goes down, it’s either too early or but a different thing. From my view, there should be no ‘pure’ translators, only real specialists with business awareness and decent foreign language skills. I see no issues with one/no-specialty degenerating pseudo-entrepreneurs—at least they must learn how to negotiate and substantiate more favorable terms. So, what still troubles you, a weird gift from Zeus? Just let them learn the Prometheus's lesson aka experience | | |

Of course, it is obvious that I am talking about subject from my point of view and my experience! But some colleges in other platforms agreed with me, and nothing wrong with expressing my thoughts!
