MACHINE TRANSLATION AND HUMAN TRANSLATION: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS. (2026). SYNAPSES: INSIGHTS ACROSS THE DISCIPLINES, 3(10), 9-14. https://universalpublishings.com/index.php/siad/article/view/20866

Abstract

The rapid development of artificial intelligence and language  technologies has significantly transformed the field of translation. Machine translation  has evolved from rule-based systems to sophisticated neural machine translation  models capable of processing large amounts of multilingual data and generating  increasingly fluent translations. At the same time, human translation continues to play  a crucial role in professional, literary, academic, legal, diplomatic, and culturally  sensitive communication. This article presents a comparative analysis of machine  translation and human translation, focusing on their strengths, limitations, functional  differences, and potential for cooperation.
