This study seeks to identify the degree of intervention of the human translator in the post-editing of the financial text “AI and the Economy” aimed at a group of specialized readers. It builds upon previous research on post-editing and the use of neural machine translation engines with specialized texts. It also considers the hegemony of English in the production of technical texts and the Skopos theory as key elements that influence the post-editing assignment, as well as the unique characteristics that a specialized target audience possesses in comparison to a group of laypersons. While this research estimates that the literature on the translator and the post-editing is on the rise, no study has been found in the form of a textual analysis that allows us to detect clearly the degree of participation that the human translator has in the post-editing process of a financial technical text. Therefore, this research analyzes the result of the machine translation of the chosen text through a textual analysis from three approaches: lexical-semantic, morphosyntactic and stylistic-pragmatic. It evaluates the implication of machine translation errors on text comprehension and explores the arguments that validate the post-editing presented by the translator. Finally, it concludes that the translator has a much more marked degree of intervention in the lexical-semantic and morphosyntactic aspects in the full pos-editing of a financial text whose target audience is a group of specialists trained in the same academic field to which the source text belongs.
