The translation and interpreting profession has changed profoundly in the past 10-20 years as machine translation (MT) and the post-editing (PE) of machine-translated text have become an everyday reality for many translators (ELIS Research, 2023, 2024, 2025). Personal consultations with a Hungarian translation agency in 2020 suggested that about 20% of their assignments involved post-editing in some form or another. International data indicate an even higher ratio (see below) and a steady growth. This change in the profession has led to the emergence of a new research field (post-editing competence), which has been thriving ever since.
