COMPUTER ASSISTED TRANSLATION (CAT) VERSUS MACHINE TRANSLATION (MT)

What is Machine Translation??

Machine translation or MT is an automated translation, this software is incredibly useful. It lets you understand foreign language information – like any Web page, document or email – in the language of your choice in real-time. And it also makes your content and message understood in other languages, all within seconds.

The advantages of machine translation include cost and speed. Computers can access a machine translation quickly. There are many types of software that can be used as MT. One of the most popular and frequently MT used is Google Translate. Google Translate can translate a text quickly. You can translate short or long text, but if you need to translate a very long document, you can purchase software that can process an unlimited amount of text at the cost of the software alone. There is also software available that can be integrated with other computer and online tools, providing instant translations in various contexts.

However, machine translation isn’t sufficient as it would not be an accurate enough method. It also wouldn’t take into translating a cultural languages, dialect, idioms, and slang word in the target language. In addition, sometimes the translation results are not grammatically.  This MT only translates word to word without seeing the equivalence word in target language.

LIST OF MACHINE TRANSLATION SOFTWARE

Systran

Systran provides real-time language translation solutions that enhances internal collaboration, search, eDiscovery, content management, online customer support, and e-Commerce. 

Babylon Translator

Babylon Translator is a computer dictionary and translation program. It provides comprehensive free dictionary results and full text translations between dozens of languages. 

Google Translate

Google translate is a free multilingual machine translation service developed by Google, to translate text. It offers a website interface, mobile apps for Android and iOS, and an API that helps developers build browser extensions and software applications.

Yandex

Yandex machine translation system is statistical: its translations aren’t based on language rules, the system isn’t even aware of the rules – they are based on statistics. In order to learn a language, the system compares hundreds of thousands of texts, or texts containing the same information but in different languages.

What is Computer Assisted Translation??

Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) is a human translation carried out with the aid of computerized tools. That is, a human translator is the one reading and deducing the meaning of the source text and transferring it into the target language. They are simply utilizing computerized translation tools to help them work more quickly and accurately.

Advantages of using a Computer-Assisted Translation Tool

A CAT tool further reduces any chances of errors by saving the translated segments along with the source phrase. A translator can easily access any of the translated segments at any given time to ensure that the segment has been translated adequately. Computer-assisted translation tool has been developed to allow the translator to be able to quickly search and alter-if needed- a particular segment of the text. It has been programmed to assist the translator with the revision in a timely manner.

The computer-assisted translation tool saves the translated segments and source segments as distinguished translation units. It saves these segments in a translation data base, referred to as the translational memory.

Translation units stored in the translation memory can be accessed at any given time to be re-used either in the same document or a different one. Computer-assisted translation tool is equipped with special search features to allow the translator to access segments of translated fragments even when two segments do not match completely.

A computer-assisted translation tool leads to the effective use of time and energy resources during the process of translation. It also helps to create a translation memory, which can be utilized later on as training corpus for machine translation engines.
