Translating Successfully

  • My translation:
    • Advantages: It's a complete human translation, with all what this means... Languages expresions, phrases translations, metaphors adaptions, etc
    • Disadvantages: It may have common human errors, like spelling mistakes or giving a word a incorrect meaning.
  • At (Systran):
    • Advantages: Faster translation.
    • Disadvanteges: The translations have no great cohesion. They have common mistakes that a machine should make... like word by word translation or considerating one of the different meanings a word may have.
  • CAT:
    • Advantages: It mix the advantages of the sistems mentioned beffore.
    • Disadvantages: Not as fast as Systran, but the translation time is decreased.

In conclusion, my opinion is that the best translation option is to use the CAT system, that mixes the intelligence of the human mind, with the abillity of the computer of proccesing information.
I hope you a good translation...!
