Translating Succesfuly

Human translation:
-Advanteges: Keeps the whole meaning of the text, almost no errors, depending on the translator.
-Disadvantages: Its quite slow, Its meant to think the entire sentence before writing it, plus the writing itself
AT (Systran):
-Advantages:Its very fast, only copy the text, paste it in the translation slot, and click “translate”
-Disadvantages: As it translates word by word, it doesn’t always keep the text’s meaning.
CAT:
-Advantages: It translates not word by word, but by phrases, so it may keep the meaning.
-Disadvantages: It may use old phrases or expressions, and its slower than Systran’s.
