Usefulness and purposes of machine translation Sample Clauses

Usefulness and purposes of machine translation. Nowadays, it is possible to obtain an acceptable and understandable ‘final’ translation by a combination of translation tools and fine tuning. Translation is a means of facilitating cross-language communication. Usability (mutual understanding) is more important than perfect results in some contexts. Whether MT should be used is a decision which should be based not on whether the system produces ‘real’ translations, nor on whether it produces ‘good’ translations, but on the purpose for which it is required. MT can be used for many different purposes, such as: · Gisting. Sometimes it is enough for the users to just extract the essential content of a document. This unedited output is likely to be of a lower level of quality unless controlled language and considerable fine tuning have been done in advance. MT systems work very well for this kind of use. Although poor, it is better than no translation at all. This use has grown rapidly and substantially with the coming of cheaper computer-based systems on the market and with the advent of the Google Translate function. · MT as a component of information access systems. MT systems are more and more being integrated into different types of information systems (retrieval, extraction, management, etc.), as well as databases and other systems for data storage (data warehouses, etc.). This field is the focus of a number of projects in Europe that have the aim of widening access for all members of the EU to sources of data and information whatever the source language. · Localisation. The internationalisation of enterprises is a common phenomenon nowadays. MT technology is often used for the translation of documentation and help files, localisation of user interfaces, maintenance of terminology, document management and version control, etc. (X. Xxxxxxxx, 1999) · Communication. The demand for translations of electronic texts on the Internet, such as web sites, electronic mail and even electronic ‘chat’ lists is developing rapidly. In this context, the possibility of human translation is out of the question. The need is for immediate translation in order to convey the basic content of messages, however poor the input. The development of systems for spoken language translation is currently the focus of much research. · Professional purposes. As explained previously, MT can contribute to the productivity and efficiency of the work of professional translators: special tools for terminology mining and an extensive set of in...
