proposta de traballo "Six Benefits of Human Translation"

www.lingua-world.co.za/six-benefits-of-human-translation
1

Human translators manipulate language in such a way that they mimic the design and purpose of the supply text. For example, if the supply text is an upbeat promotional piece, a human translator will reproduce that to make effective materials in the target language.

2

Effective and correct translations need somebody who understands the context of the supply text to detect and appreciate the nuances of each language.

3

While machine translators will quickly churn out target text from input supply text, the machine doesn’t acknowledge nor translate idioms, slang or terms that aren’t pre programmed within the machine’s memory.

4

Machine translations are typically very literal, hence the errors and strange language that is often easily identifiable by a native reader.

5

Only humans will perceive and effectively translate the cultural elements of supply text.

6

The end product from human translation appears less like the results of a translation service and a lot like that of a creative document.
