Welcome to postedit.me

postedit.me is an open source app developed by the Louvain School of Translation and Interpreting (LSTI, UCLouvain) to support the quality assessment of student post-editing (PE). It consists of two interfaces: a Teacher interface and a Student interface.

The project is funded by UCLouvain Fonds de développement pédagogique (2021-2023).

Main features of postedit.me

• PE task creation (source text, machine translation, PE brief and metadata)
• PE task submission (student PE and accompanying metadata)
• PE task annotation, using standardized taxonomies specifically geared towards translator education:
• MTPEAS (Machine Translation Post-Editing Annotation System)
• TAS (Translation-oriented Annotation System)
• Annotation statistics
• Search tool (concordancer) to query the annotated student data
