With the emergence of Information Technology,the world increasingly experiences advances in machine
translation software applications.
While they can basically
fulfill the purpose of clarifying doubts and translating short and simple
paragraphs, machine translation programs remain not a good option for
most needs. They help solve specific questions, but are not
the best alternative to translate a text that does not dominate.
The biggest failure
of machine translation lies in the
inability to replace humans. The exchange of translators and interpreters is absolutely impossible, as translation transforms
thoughts from one language into another. On the other hand, programs do
not understand context and do not interpret.
Translation software always
follows the rules, but the language itself is based on numerous exceptions to
the rules (irregular verbs, colloquialism, etc.). Therefore, generalizing
a language does not mean understanding its subtleties; actually means
oversimplifying.
Therefore, the best language translation software will
always be inferior to the certified professional translator.
