How accurate are machine translations?
The accuracy of the translation is based many factors – (1) how you entered the text (was there no slang, contractions, complicated speech, etc..), (2) the difficulty of the language and limit of its lexicon you selected (Japanese is much harder for computers to translate into than Spanish), (3) and the overall accuracy of the translator. If all is entered well, and computed well by the translator, you should have a very accurate translation! However, not all translations go perfectly. In any case, all translations will give you a general idea of what is being communicated. We suggest that if you need critical translations, hire a translator or take the time to learn the language that you want to communicate in. As technology advances, so does the sophistication of computer translators. In the future, we hope to see translators that use Artificial Intelligence to recognize the linguistic rules of grammar and sentence structure. This will bring the quality and accuracy of machine transl
