The KantanPEX Rule Editor enables members of KantanMT reduce the amount of manual post-editing required for a particular translation by creating, testing and deploying post-editing automation rules on their Machine Translation engines (client profiles).

The editor allows users to evaluate the output of a PEX (Post-Editing Automation) rule on a sample of translated content without needing to upload it to a client profile and run translation jobs. Users can enter up to three pairs of search and replace rules, which will be run in descending order on your content.

How to use the KantanMT PEX Rule Editor

You will be directed to the ‘Client Profiles’ tab in the ‘My Client Profiles’ page. The last profile you were working on will be ‘Active’ and marked in bold.

To use the ‘PEX-Rule Editor’ with a profile other than the ‘Active’ profile, click on the new profile name to select that profile for use with the ‘Kantan PEX-Rule editor’.

Then click the ‘KantanMT’ tab and select ‘PEX Editor’ from the drop-down menu.

You will be directed to the ‘PEX Editor’ page.

Type the content you wish to test on, in the ‘Test Content’ box.

Type the content you wish to search for in the ‘PEX Search Rules’ box.

Type what you want the replacement to be in the ‘PEX Replacement Rules’ box and click on the ‘Test PEX Rules’ button to test the PEX-Rules.

The results of your PEX-Rules will now appear in the ‘Output’ box.

Give the rules you have created a name by typing in the ‘Rule Name’ box.

Select the profile you wish to apply this rule(s) to and then click on the ‘Upload Rule’ button.
