We have seen a variety of technological improvements in the area of machine translation recently. It is not hard to find the buzz about automatic translation technology, especially since it has been made free and available by agencies such as Google, Microsoft, Systrans and Babylon.

Possibly uninformed of machine translations pitfalls, many web content providers have began using these tools to quickly and easily translate their material and distribute it in different languages. These equipment can certainly save money, but they can also destroy their brand and company by providing erroneous translations.

Saying that though, I think machine translation does render some promises. To consider the price of not having to hire an established human translator is very appealing, but there are still a lot of improvements necessary to make this method of translation to rival against human translation. As organizations invest in these tools, they may just be a little more reliable and accurate. I am skeptical they would someday surpass a human translator's quality, though.

Machine translation is most suited to easy, short sentences, such as the ones we uncover in chat rooms, MSN and the like. An interesting example is that of a close friend of mine who is keen on playing chat rooms: He employs machine translation tools to chat with people from around the world, especially Latin America to translate English to Spanish. People take for granted he is fluent in Spanish since he uses and Babylon's automatic Spanish to English translator for translation English to Spanish. How does he do it? He writes what he wants to say on the translation tool, gets it converted the copies the English to Spanish translation and copies it on the chat box. He does the inverse to figure out the person he is chatting with.

It appears like a lot of fun.
