A client asks for a translation. The brief is straightforward: take this marketing copy, this app interface, this website, and render it in another language. The project ships on schedule. Then, weeks later, a request comes in for a quality review — because something about the finished product does not feel quite right to the local market it was meant to reach. This pattern shows up often enough in Tomedes' own project data that it is no longer a one-off surprise. This piece uses that data to explain what localization actually requires, why so much of it gets requested as plain translation, and what a properly scoped brief should include before a project starts — not after it ships.

Every year, people submit translated documents to government agencies, courts, and institutions — only to have them rejected. Not because the translation was inaccurate.

AIPE is showing up on purchase orders. Translators are listing it in their service coverage alongside MTPE, and clients are ordering it for Hebrew, Punjabi, and Tagalog projects without being entirely sure what they have bought. The confusion is understandable — AIPE (AI Post-Editing) and MTPE (Machine Translation Post-Editing) describe essentially the same workflow, but they arrive from different directions: MTPE is the industry's technical term, while AIPE is the buyer-facing label that has emerged as AI translation tools proliferated. Understanding what they share, where they differ, and how both compare to full human translation is the most practically useful thing a translation buyer can know in 2026. This guide answers every question buyers ask before, during, and after placing an order.
