German MTPE Services for Transcript Translation

With over 130 million German speakers worldwide, many businesses are interested in targeting this specific market. Due to this, the demand for translations has increased over the years. However, sometimes businesses need immediate translations for certain types of content.

In this project, we demonstrate our skill in providing German MTPE (Machine Translation Post-Editing) solutions for a company specializing in broadcasting, news, and documentary services that want to expand in the German market. 

Our Client

Our client is a renowned company that provides broadcasting, news, and documentary services. They're seeking to expand into German-speaking markets and need to translate English transcripts into German. Because of how time-sensitive the information the transcripts are they want swift and precise translations that conventional translation services wouldn't be able to provide due to the sheer number of transcripts and content involved in this project.

Because of this, they decided to look for a company offering expert German MTPE solutions. While researching the best post-editing translation providers, they came across Tomedes and were impressed with our 98% customer satisfaction rate. They then decided to contact us to immediately have their transcripts translated, enhancing their content's reach and engagement with their diverse German-speaking audiences.

The Project

The project entailed implementing MTPE services from English to German for various transcripts of videos and audio-based content. This includes interviews, documentary content, news reports, podcasts, and economic analysis video content. The client needed all translated transcripts within 24 hours.

Each transcript required meticulous attention to ensure that the translation reflected the original's tone, intent, and clarity while being tailored to fit the client's specific needs in the dynamic field of news and media.

Why German MTPE is Essential for Multimedia and News Transcripts

As previously mentioned, there are 130 million German speakers worldwide, making it an enticing market to enter. German MTPE can help integrate a business' brand presence more quickly and make its solution more accessible to a broader audience. By combining the speed of machine translation with the post-editing skills of language professionals, the MTPE process guarantees fast delivery of translations without compromising their quality.

When it comes to broadcasting, news, and media companies, the accuracy of transcriptions is essential. For viewers who are deaf-mute, reading the transcriptions is an easier way for them to get the news they need.

Some viewers prefer reading transcripts while listening to their favorite podcasts and news channels so they can properly understand the information provided to them. From a legal standpoint, some regions and countries require these types of companies to provide a transcript for legal compliance, ensuring that these companies aren't misinformation to their audience.

Project Challenges

Tomedes is no stranger to complying with tight deadlines and ensuring high quality in all our projects. However, we still experience issues in our translation process. Below, we will discuss the three main challenges we faced in this project:

Balancing Speed with Accuracy: Translating time-sensitive transcripts demanded a method that could keep pace with urgent timelines without compromising on quality.

Cultural and Contextual Relevance: The translations needed to resonate with German cultural norms and expressions to ensure relevance and engagement.

Maintaining Original Voice and Intent: It was imperative to preserve the speaker’s original voice and intent, maintaining authenticity throughout the translated transcripts.
