Can google translate be trusted as an accurate translator?
Imagine a world where everything that you say is interpreted in its literal form.

Let’s say that you are explaining a simple task to your new employee and you say something along the lines of -

“Oh! Don’t take too much stress, it’s a piece of cake”

Without any knowledge or ability to understand the context, your employee is going to think that the job is finishing a piece of cake.

Naturally, your employee will keep waiting for their piece of cake and the simple task left incomplete, can cause serious repercussions for your business.

Now imagine the chaos that will ensue, if you started using a medium to translate which conveyed every message in its literal form to the other party!

After excellent strides in the field of AI and machine learning, Google has been able to put together a translating software. Even though it can translate any sentence into any language, it is still not good enough. This is because-

Lacks contextual understanding- Even though this software is capable to translate simple sentences, it still lacks the ability to understand the context of a conversation. If you use this software without any prior knowledge of the language, you seriously risk offending the person you are having the conversation with Can’t communicate complex ideas- google translate can translate day-to-day conversations like “hello, how are you?” but to translate more complicated ideas or comprehensive documents, there is no other alternative solution other than human translators. Formatting issues- Translating via google translate can often bring up a lot of formatting issues, for example, sometimes, the algorithm translates the sentence from word to word and negates the rules of grammar and syntax.

Hence, if you want a complete and accurate translation of your business documents, in a speedy and cost-effective manner, a machine translation + a human review approach would be much useful. This is where the text is translated by a machine as Google translate, and a human translator corrects it and makes sure the context is definitely there.
