HUMAN REVIEW OF THE GENERATED DRAFT

Find the meaning errors, awkward phrasing and terminology problems a fluent-looking draft can hide. Get a reviewed Brazilian Portuguese version with a clear scope.

By Saulo Dutra · SEO strategist & native Brazilian Portuguese specialist

An AI-generated translation can be a starting point, but publication still requires decisions about accuracy, terminology and intended use. I compare the Brazilian Portuguese draft with the source and edit it for the agreed quality level. My work combines native Brazilian Portuguese writing, translation experience and familiarity with AI-assisted content workflows.

Check AI translations against the source meaning

A sentence may read well while changing a condition, losing a qualification or using the wrong product term. I review the relationship between source and translation, rather than judging the Portuguese draft in isolation.

The work can address mistranslations, omissions, inconsistent terminology, unclear references, unnatural phrasing and tone. Where the source itself is ambiguous, I raise a query so the final decision is grounded in context.

Define the Brazilian Portuguese post-editing scope

A draft for internal understanding may need a different level of intervention from a customer-facing product page. We define the intended use, reference material and required review before choosing the post-editing scope.

I also assess whether the generated text is a useful starting point. If repairing a weak draft would be less effective than translating again, I explain that recommendation and its effect on the scope before proceeding.

Keep an organized record of important changes

For teams refining an AI workflow, recurring errors are useful signals. When included, I can provide notes on terminology patterns, source issues and problems that deserve attention in future production.

The deliverable remains a reviewed text for the agreed use. Wider factual research, specialist approval and legal certification are separate tasks; they should be identified explicitly where your material requires them.

A few useful answers

Frequently asked questions

Is post-editing always cheaper than translation?

The condition of the draft determines the work required. A useful draft may reduce effort; a poor one can require substantial rewriting. I assess the material before recommending and quoting the appropriate scope.

Can you review a translation without its source?

I can proofread and edit the Portuguese, but I cannot fully verify whether it preserves the original meaning without the source. Those are different services, and the scope should make that distinction clear.

Can you follow our AI and confidentiality requirements?

Share your approved tools, data-handling rules and review requirements before sending sensitive material. We agree a suitable workflow and what content may be processed through which tools before the work starts.
