In the process of machine translation, pre-editing is a crucial step, which can help reduce the cost of post-translation editing and improve the quality of machine translation. By sorting out and reviewing the relevant literature about pre-editing of machine translation, this paper summarizes the previous researches on pre-editing of machine translation from three aspects: the theoretical framework, automated and semi-automated pre-translation editing and evaluation of pre-translation editing effect. The possible development direction of pre-translation edting is also put forward.
