The Human Factor in Machine Translation de Sin-wai Chan

The Human Factor in Machine Translation: Routledge Studies in Translation Technology

Editat de Sin-wai Chan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 dec 2019
Machine translation has become increasingly popular, especially with the introduction of neural machine translation in major online translation systems. However, despite the rapid advances in machine translation, the role of a human translator remains crucial. As illustrated by the chapters in this book, man-machine interaction is essential in machine translation, localisation, terminology management, and crowdsourcing translation. In fact, the importance of a human translator before, during, and after machine processing, cannot be overemphasised as human intervention is the best way to ensure the translation quality of machine translation. This volume explores the role of a human translator in machine translation from various perspectives, affording a comprehensive look at this topical research area. This book is essential reading for anyone involved in translation studies, machine translation or interested in translation technology.

Recenzii

"The importance of a human translator before, during, and after machine processing cannot be overemphasized." I couldn’t agree with it more after reading The Human Factor in Machine Translation, which explores the human-machine interaction in machine translation, localization, terminology management, and crowdsourcing translation. With its theoretical insight and pioneering research, this book is a good choice for a wide range of readers including teachers and students of Computer-aided Translation, users, developers and suppliers of machine translation systems, managers of translation agencies, and professional translators. You should read this book if you want to translate more efficiently and effectively at a lower cost."
John Wong, Translation Lecturer, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong
"Featuring contributions from international experts, this inspiring book provides professional translators, researchers and CAT developers with invaluable insights into the human factor in translation technology."
