With the progress of technology, more and more intelligent translation software appears in our life, which can facilitate our daily translation. But human translation still dominates, because some professional texts or occasions still need to be translated manually. So what are the advantages of human translation?
- Ensuring the quality of translations
Compared with machine translation, human translation can flexibly choose more appropriate words for translation. Especially in the translation of some long and difficult sentences, machine translation will usually appear in the sentence is not clear or even the meaning of the situation, while the human translation will not. Human translators usually create a glossary of terms to ensure that the words are translated accurately. After the translation is completed, a series of rigorous quality control, such as editing and proofreading, is also carried out to ensure the fluency of the translation.
- Ensure the accuracy of translation
Human translators are able to provide more accurate translations in legal, medical, economic and other demanding professional fields. This is because human translators have relevant professional knowledge and can accurately translate specialized terms to ensure the accuracy of translation. Human translators have a lower error rate and a complete translation process, including pre-translation preparation and post-translation proofreading. Mechanical translation is prone to translation problems, such as inaccurate translation of words and phrases.
- Ensure the readability of translation
Human translation can better adapt to and accurately convey the languages and expressions of different regions and cultural backgrounds, and can avoid the language sequence errors caused by machine translation. When dealing with the incoherent phrases of the translated text, human translation can carry out creative translation to make the output text naturally fluent and ensure the readability of the translated text.
The advantages of human translation are not only reflected in the deep understanding and accurate communication of the original text, but also include aspects such as the ability to provide personalized services, which are difficult for machine translation to do. Although there are some disadvantages of human translation, such as time-consuming and high cost, human translation is still the best choice for content that requires high quality and accuracy.
