| Summary: | Machine Translation, or MT, however imperfect it may be, is an actuality
today. With the unprecedented exponential growth of the World Wide Web,
MT has gained an increasingly important role in information exchange in
today's borderless global economy. More and more vendors are offering
machine translation services to the general web users.
However, the use of MT systems for producing translations as good as those
done by human translators has been disappointing in the past, even in domainspecific
applications. The use of MT will only be fruitful in environments that
can fully exploit the strong points. Thus, before we can safely assign the task of
translating web pages to a MT system, it is important for us to see the product
in a proper perspective, to be aware of its strengths and weaknesses. |
