This paper discusses a methodology to measure the usability of machine translated content by end users, comparing lightly post-edited
content with raw output and with the usability of source language content. The content selected consists of Online Help articles from a
software company for a spreadsheet application, translated from English into German. Three groups of five users each used either the
source text - the English version (EN) -, the raw MT version (DE_MT), or the light PE version (DE_PE), and were asked to carry out
six tasks. Usability was measured using an eye tracker and cognitive, temporal and pragmatic measures of usability. Satisfaction was
measured via a post-task questionnaire presented after the participants had completed the tasks.
