Advantages of Machine Translation:
• Efficiency.
Editing MT saves time, as the translator doesn't need to translate every word or phrase from scratch.
• Cost Reduction.
The service of editing is cheaper than standard translation and requires fewer resources.
• Increased Volume.
With AI, a translator can handle up to 10-12 pages a day compared to the usual 7-8.
• Enhanced Productivity.
AI tools allow for the creation of more content in less time.
• Improved User Experience.
Quick localization of content for specific markets.
Disadvantages of Machine Translation:
• Cultural Nuances.
Machines do not always convey complex idioms and cultural specifics.
• Lack of Personalization.
Translations may not consider the unique needs of users.
• Limited Language Support.
The quality of translation depends on the prevalence of the language.
• Privacy Concerns.
Free services may use texts for AI learning, creating a risk of data leaks.
Despite its limitations, MT combined with human expertise opens new horizons for communication and business, offering effective solutions in the translation field.
