You can think about our process as a chain. A text is original machine translated, then passed to an editor. When the editor is done we pass its output to another editor. The process continues until we are confident the quality is good.

We don't use Amazon Turk. We have our own community which works on our site or on our mobile apps. This gives our editors a much better experience. We are dedicated to improve our edition interface to simplify the work of the editors.

There is an endpoint to report a translation which we will release soon (it's at the end of the documentation), meanwhile you can report a translation directly to us.

We have an endpoint for bulk translations. We are working on a way to submit XLIFF and PO files directly. Part of the consistency is achieved by the first step of MT. We are working on keeping consistency between editors by propagating their changes.

I am Unbabel's CTO. Thanks for your comment. Our goal is exactly to use that feedback to improve our MT systems. We are currently outsourcing our MT, while training our own models (using Moses). Besides generating parallel text, the types of data we will be collecting (e.g. chain of editions performed by each editor on a task), will allow new and interesting algorithms to update the translation models.
