Tech Talk Tuesdays: Machine Translations
This week's Tech Talk Subject is online translation, otherwise referred to as "machine translation." An example would be Google Translate. Here's a link where you can research the topic further:
Questions for discussion: Do you use online translation services? Why? Why not? Of the ones you've tried, which is the most accurate in your opinion? Sound off in the comments section.
I have used several online translation services. None of them offer a completely accurate translation. Usually it is a word-for-word translation that does not convey the real meaning. I find that greater emphasis is placed on translating the words rather than the idea.
My first preference is Google Translate because this service offers the most accurate translation.
