What are the yellow markers on my text?

Because what our editors do at Unbabel is post-edition, not translation, it’s really important that evaluation tasks show not just the completed target text, but also the original machine translation. This is why the text has yellow and grey markers on it.

In short:

Yellow markers represent characters that have been added to the text.

Grey markers represent characters that were removed from the machine-translated text.

Example

Here is an example of a German to English task that has been evaluated.

If you look at the text, you can see the following changes, as marked on the text.

1. Editor added “In order to create”
2. Editor removed “to create” from the original and added “please”
3. Editor added “on Register at the” 
4. Editor added “hand corner of the page” and removed “Register”
