Machine Translation (Questionnaire 3)

Machine Translation is the utilization of computers to the assignment of translating a text from a natural language, to another one. MT is one of the earliest researches in computer science. It has demonstrated to be a fleeting goal. Nowadays there are many systems which produce results with enough quality to be useful in so many specific fields.

At its simple grade, Machine translation makes simple exchanges of words in a natural language for word in another. Otherwise, with corpus techniques, the translation will be more complex.

Definition from the European Association for Machine Translation: “an organization that serves the growing community of people interested in MT and translation tools, including users, developers, and researchers of this increasingly viable technology”.
