No, I strongly object. As SE I often use translate.eu and Google translate and more than often the results are bloodcurdling and disastrous. For a quick answer I often have no other choice. If I have the impression that I don't understand what the member really wants, I look for a human translator. And from English to a foreign language I carefully check if the result of the automatic translation looks plausible. Often enough I change the English text to achieve a better translation. But for our translation data base we have more than enough time, so we shall have a really good translation by a human translator, preferably a native speaker. There shall be no ambiguities and misunderstanding. Quality here clearly has precedence before speed or simplicity. |
