ISO 17100 and ISO 18587 Certification

The ISO 18587 certification is a specific standard for post-editing of machine translations, establishing the requirements to ensure that content translated by artificial intelligence meets professional standards. The ISO 18587 certification ensures that:

• Post-editing is performed by highly qualified linguists trained to improve machine translations;
• The post-edited content reaches a quality level comparable to professional human translations;
• Rigorous processes are adopted to review, correct and improve automatically translated texts, ensuring fluency, naturalness and fidelity to the original;
• Work is conducted by specialised post-editors, who guarantee terminological accuracy, grammatical correctness and textual coherence.

Obtaining the ISO 18587 certification reaffirms our commitment to quality, even when we use advanced technologies, ensuring that each translation meets the highest level of excellence.
