Translating succesfully

  1. My translation:
  • Advantages: It´s easier to read . You can put compund adjetives and idioms because it´s not translated word by word.
  • Disadvantages: it takes a lot of time to translate.

2. Systran:

  • Advantages: it´s faster. It doesn´t take a lot of time as my translation. it gives you de meaning of unknown words.
  • Disadvantages: It translates word by word so the meaning isn´t so comprehensible.

3. CAT:

  • Advantages: You can add unknown words to your vocabulary and put them in your translation. It´s faster than the human translation.
  • Disadvantages: It isn´t as fast as Systran.

Conclusion:

The techonlogy is important and it helps. However it doesn´t replace the person.

I think that the better translator is the CAT.
