Does WebTra utilize machine translation?
No, we don’t use and we don’t recommend any translation software. Take the following test: Choose a text in Spanish at random and use software to translate it into English. You will see for yourself that the best translation software fails, often with disastrous –even if hilarious– results. Remember, you must use authentic and knowledgeable language correctly to present a professional image to your customers. “I wish I could be more optimistic about automatic translation. My company spends $200 million a year localizing software into different languages. We’d love it if we could just stick text into a machine and have a great translation come back.” (Bill Gates, interview in The New York Times, July 2, 1997.) See also “Lost in Translation” Top.
