What Translation Process Best Fits Your Needs?

There are two different translation processes, human translation and machine translation post-editing (MTPE). Both have benefits, it just depends on the type of content you are needing translated, the topic of documents needing translation and your object in completing the translations. Below is a chart that can help you determine which translation process best fits your needs:
