Professional Translation Services vs. Online Google Translators

Today, online Google Translate is considered one of the fastest and easiest ways to translate words

and short sentences. But have you ever pondered over the accuracy of these online translations?

Can these translations compete with those of Human translators, executed by a professional

translator? Is it possible that translators offering Professional translation services in Canada will

become obsolete due to the free online translation services provided by Google? Do you

understand how Google Translate works? Can it seriously compete against Professional

translators?

Google’s Translate Online New System

A few years back Google announced their new version of Google Translate, which reportedly

translates texts as well as human translators. The system demonstrates improved accuracy and

comes closer to matching the fluency of humans for some languages, such as Spanish or Chinese. It

uses a technique known as “deep learning” which uses networks of mathematical functions to

recognize objects and translate speech in real time. Even after extensive research, it was found

that the difference between a translation done by Google online and one performed by a human

translator was minimal.

A Machine Will Always Be a Machine

Every translation is unique. Even if the topic is similar, the translation of text A cannot be used for

the translation of text B. Human translators need to analyze the document

that requires translation. Only then can they decide on the appropriate

terminology to be used. If it is an academic paper or a manual, technical words are used. Who is

the text written for? Is the translation intended for children or adults? Is it being submitted for

marketing purposes or is the text informing people about serious medical issues? These and many

more questions are taken into consideration by agencies providing Professional translation

services in Canada, before they hand over the final product to their client.

The computer can never pick up the broader themes of individual documents, nor understand the

specific contextual requirements of a translation project. To understand this, human translators

communicate with their clients and do their best to fulfill the clients’ specific needs. It is not

possible for Google Translate to communicate with people to clarify the client’s needs and the

context in which he operates.

How Far Do We Want to Go?

The most important question is do we really want to replace human beings with machines,

especially when it comes to something as important as language? Language, communication, and

translation have always been the basis of world-wide communication and they will continue to

play an important role in our globally interconnected societies. In order to facilitate effective

communication, the world needs professional translators who can contextualize better than

machines. And what better way to stay competitive in today's business landscape and maintain the

quality of your communication than partnering with a Company delivering Professional translation

services in Canada?
