Post-editor or Son-biçimleyici?


Translation Studies has proven its existence as an independent scientific field and the existence of interdisciplinary fields of study which belong to it. It is inevitable that Translation Studies, which has a wide interdisciplinary field of study, has a constantly developing terminology. Post-editors, which have been among the computer-assisted translation tools and editing programs for many years, can work-integrated and/or independently from neural machine translation programs. In this study, it has been determined that the concept called as post-editor is not included in the Turkish Translation Studies terminology, and does not have a constant usage as a term in the related literature review. In this context, it has been observed that the post-editors are called in general as editing after the machine translation, or the word post-edit, which is often English equivalent, is used exactly. The post-editors should not be considered only in connection with machine translation, it is suggested that the name be used as post-editor, as it is software that helps editors, publishers, content creators, translators, students, researchers in the production of creating the qualified texts. This study has been carried out to include the “son-biçimleyici” in Turkish Translation Studies terminology as a term, which is beneficial during the translation practices and in translation education in current research and the term suggestions for post-editors, post-edit and post-editing words into Turkish are given. Within the scope of the research, the importance of term production/derivation in a language was emphasized and a proposal was made for the Turkish equivalent of the concept, which is frequently referred to as post-editor in translation studies.
