Title: professional translation service

My Experience with an Automated Translation
Service
2
  • I always find myself in a bind when I need to get
    something translated quickly. A friend of mine
    told me that I can find an easy way out by
    getting my work translated by an automated
    service.
  • Now I have used the translation service on a few
    websites before. Usually it is to learn a cool
    word or something in another language, but I have
    never done it specifically for a huge document.

My Options
  • There are tons of automated translation services
    available online. Just doing a simple search, you
    can find several websites specifically dedicated
    to doing document translations. Unfortunately
    though, a lot of these websites only do a small
    amount of translations. They only translate a
    passage or two and that may be okay when you are
    trying to do your foreign language homework, but
    for a full document I simply didnt have the time.

  • Finding a website that does automated translation
    for a huge paper like the one I had took a bit of
    time and energy. Luckily I found a few, and they
    worked, but it wasnt at the quality that I
    wanted it to be. I didnt realize that until I
    submitted my paper though. By that time it was
    already too late. I never knew how these services
    worked and the way that they translated work, but
    when I found out I suddenly understood why my
    work would never be properly translated by a free
    automated service.

How It All Works
  • The way it all works is pretty simple. You put
    your work into a translator and it finds the
    corresponding words or phrase and translates it
    into another language, and in theory that works
    perfectly. You can translate things all you want,
    and it even looks like it is right in the new
    language. After I used the service I was sure
    that the paper made sense. The words looked so
    similar. I even asked my friends how it looked
    and all of them said the same thing, but
    unfortunately none of them actually knew the
    language it was written in.

  • I couldnt find someone who actually could read
    or speak the language, if I could then I wouldnt
    be using the service, but when I got my document
    back I realized that it was horribly wrong.
    Automated translators do a lot of work in terms
    of translating words in various languages, but
    the translation stops there. There are a lot of
    subtle things that are ignored with these
    services.
