依目前工作的经验, 我觉得 MT 在繁中来说, 目前并不真的很可用.. 只在非常不需要语言技巧的文件 (例如 "按一下 xxx") 才比较能用.. 但在欧洲语言应该就满适用..因为他们的语言比较能相对应, 有一些规则变化..只要订下逻辑就能套用.. 另外,个人觉得, 要用 MT　这种事， 常常都是客户决定的...翻译社也只能照作.. 没办法的事吧 ~ 我想, 如果我接到这种案子 (当然价格是不能变少).. 应该都是全删掉重翻吧.. 看着 MT 的东西..实在很难写 ※ 引述《tengharold (RoadMan_A)》之铭言： : 我的合作译者之一今天写信给我，提到今年ATA(美国译者协会)年会上的热门议题。 : 原文如下： : [为协助非英语系译者，我加注(不负责)译文] : Hi Harry, I just came back from the ATA conference and the big buzz is : machine translation coupled with “post-editing”. There are lots of : companies that ask their linguists to use a machine translation tool or they : send out a machine translated file and just ask for an edit. Agencies feel : they can get a translation of somewhat decent quality for a lot less than : what normal translation and edit would cost them. Many of the newer TEnTs : (Translation Environment Tools, rather than Translation memory tools!) have a : plug-in function for MT apps. : [哈利你好，我刚参加完ATA大会回来。今年大家都在谈所谓的"机械翻译+後置审稿"。有 : 许多公司要求译者使用机械翻译，或是直接寄一份机械翻译过的文章，然後要译者审/润 : 稿。翻译公司认为这样的成果品质尚可接受，但成本却可大大低於一般的翻译>校润程序 : 。许多新版的TEnT(不光是翻译工具，而是"翻译环境工具"了)都内建可与机械翻译软体 : 相通的插件。] : Remember when Trados first came on the market! The uproar, the translation : community was like the Luddites! : [还记得Trados新上市的时候闹得多大! 我们翻译界像卢德分子一样! : (Luddites: 1.卢德分子(19世纪初英国手工业工人中参加捣毁机器的人)，2.(l-)强烈反 : 对机械化或自动化的人)] : The open source community as well as Facebook, Twitter, various web sites and : not the least the Linux developers use “crowdsourcing” to have their users : translate (for free) and then other users vote on the best translation. These : are then added to the huge and growing database of translations that : supposedly will increase not just in size but in quality as well. : [公开源代码界、脸书、推特、许多其他网页、甚至Linux开发商现在都使用所谓的"集体 : 创作"模式，让使用者无偿翻译，然後其他使用者投票选出最佳翻译。这些选出来的翻译 : 就会被加进那些日渐庞大的资料库 - 据说如此作法不仅可增加译文量，品质也会变得更 : 好。] : Just look at Microsoft – they do not even have any humans translating their : software anymore, all these UI terms are so standardized that they can easily : plug it into an MT app and then do some “lite editing”. As to all their : knowledgebase articles – no human has touched the translations of those – : they are totally done by MT we were told at the ATA! : [看看微软 - 现在他们根本不用人做翻译，他们的用户介面名词已完全标准化，可以直接 : 代入任何机械翻译软体，然後大概润一下就好了。至於微软的Knowledgebase知识库文件 : ，在ATA大会上他们说里面的东西从来都没有活人翻译过，全部都是机器翻的!] : And it is crawling into our industry as well! The only industry so far that : can ward off these attacks is medical, technical, legal…. Everyones language : for marketing, social media, web sites and such will become so standardized : that MT will be all that is needed … : [这趋势现在正在慢慢侵入我们这产业!我们业界现在唯一能不受侵害的就是医学、技术、 : 法学等领域。行销、社交媒体、网页等未来会制式化到用机器翻译就够了...] : Beware of the beginning of the war between Craft and Crap! : [注意，翻译界良币与劣币的大战已经开始了!] : 感想：以前只有无良译者在做的事，今年ATA大会拿出来慎重讨论。是MT真的进步很多了 : 吗? 是翻译社为降低成本不择手段吗? 还是社会大众对文字的要求越来越低了? : 感想2：我是否要赶快学程式语言 XD --
