Ciklopea at Meet Central Europe 2025: Navigating the New Era of “Stealth Post-Editing”
Ciklopea Consulting */ ?> We are proud to announce that Sarah Ann Rengel, Senior Project Manager at Ciklopea, will be a featured speaker at Meet Central Europe 2025 in Bratislava on Thursday, October 16, from 11:00 to 11:45 AM, with her presentation My MT, Your MT – Strategies for Recognising and Managing Postediting Projects.
The New Reality: When Clients Bring Their Own AI
As language service providers, we’ve long offered machine translation postediting (MTPE) as a standard service to stay competitive and deliver value efficiently. But times are changing.
With the widespread availability of free-to-use machine translation and AI tools, more and more clients are now translating their content independently—then sending these pre-translated texts to LSPs for “review,” often without disclosing that the content was machine-generated or machine-translated.
For project managers, this introduces a new layer of complexity:
- How can you recognize when a project is actually postediting in disguise?
- How do you define scope, effort, and quality expectations for such projects?
- How do you ensure client satisfaction while also protecting your margins and securing a smooth and realistic workflow for your team?
Welcome to the World of Stealth Post-Editing
Sarah’s session will explore this emerging phenomenon and offer some practical strategies for identifying hidden MT content early, managing it transparently, and keeping quality and profitability under control.
This is a must-attend session for project managers, LSPs, and anyone working to maintain quality in the age of readily-available AI tools.
Why Meet Central Europe?
Meet Central Europe (MCE) is one of the most important events for the translation and localization industry in the region, bringing together LSP leaders, project managers, linguists, and technology experts to share knowledge, build partnerships, and exchange ideas.
The conference’s mission to inspire collaboration and professional growth perfectly aligns with Ciklopea’s commitment to innovation, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement in language technology.
