What is machine translation of foreign languages?
Machine translation uses translation software to automatically translate a document from the source language into a target language. The software can be very expensive and the translation is generally not very accurate. At best, a machine translation may offer a general picture of what the source text is trying to say. But, to be 100% correct, the heart of a translation must contain crucial factors such as: 1) The exact meaning of the translation, 2) Sentence structure, 3) Technical terms and idioms, 4) Language-specific nuances, 5) Cultural sensitivities, etc. Translation software cannot take these things into account. Therefore, only a translation completed by an experienced, qualified human translator can successfully and accurately do the job.
