Abstract

This article investigates the post-editing workflow and types of edits made in the context of a real-life literary translation project. The source text is a short narrative by Brazilian author Lima Barreto. The text was first machine-translated into German by DeepL and subsequently postedited by a literary translator, using a keylogger to capture edits and intermediate versions.

Keywords

literary post-editing, post-editing workflow, edit distance, typology of edits, intermediate versions
