I receive a good mix of conventional translation and post-editing requests. I hope to find some time rather sooner than later to start keeping records of it, because it would be really interesting to know the exact ratio between conventional translation and MTPE, and how it evolves over the years.

All my customers insist on human translation. The only machine-assisted job I’ve done so far was two years ago: circa 50,000 words on Italian tourist sites (IT/PT). Some parts were pretty good but then lot of it didn't make any sense. I had to keep my eyes skinned…

My clients have no say in the process: they send me a text and I decide what instruments I want to use in order to get the job done: glossaries, dictionaries, CAT, help from my wife, MT, AI, the internet in general, my client, or whatever.

On the other hand, I'm getting a lot of specialized human translation request, from clients that understand the importance of accurate translation for their business, in particular in the field I work in, Fintech, in which accuracy is of foremost importance because errors could mean a huge loss of money (think of stocks trading). ▲ Collapse

I am not claiming that this is a general trend, it's just that my clients keep sending me regular translation jobs, and I'm OK with it.
