Does online or machine translator translates well?

After more research and analysis, I want to preface this whole thing by saying that doing language translation by a machine put you into the trouble.

As in my analysis, I found so many reviews on blog post. The general consensus is that online translation tools do fast translation and also I do agree with this. This is rubbish if the translation tool does not translate well in terms of their essences of the sentence.

So, what's different about online Translation tools other than the previous attempts at machine translation? The biggest is that some online translation tools collects data from the search engine to cull human-supplied translation bits and add those to its existing translation algorithms.

As per the Search and analysis I found that many online translation tools translate same sentence differently and does not make any sense.  Here is some translation results of online tools and manual translation:

Input	Online Tools Output	Manual
I am Santosh.	मैं संतोष कर रहा हूँ।	मैं संतोष हूँ |
It was bound to love.	यह प्यार ही था|	प्यार तो होना ही था |
Let me go in the middle.	मुझे बीच में चलते हैं|	मुझे बिच में जाने दो |

At the end of this analysis you can see that here is much difference in between actual meaning and output by online translation tool.

So this is really informative. I need to admit that I was truly diffident when I attempted to out of it. Much the same as every other machine translators on the planet, on the off chance that you endeavor to utilize an online translation tool to gather significance from a web page or from a paragraph or even a single sentence, you're probably screwed. The initial three sentences I have in the outline demonstrate that while verbs and things are interpreted appropriately, you really lose a meaning and connection in translation. 

Someday this won't matter and we'll all have universal translators with us. It also doesn't matter much because, as Hollywood has shown us over again and again, all aliens from far and distant worlds speak English. Online translation or Machine translation is not faithful as well as not has fidelity to the original source. it cannot convey the source in target as it leads to mistranslation.

VALUES AND ETHICS OF TRANSLATION-II

In continuation…

I am glad and thankful to all of my viewers for their supports, encouragement and help which truly inspire me to continue with this article and influenced me towards cultivating a great society in this localization world. I welcome you all, once again.

Values in life hold great importance from the point of personal, social, it’s respective developments and over its all remaining aspects. Values and ethics are inextricably tied together. Values are the motive power behind any purposeful action. Moral values are meant for making the quest to find out the higher self an easier and better way. Unfortunately, many of us may find it difficult to follow values in or translation industry likewise, you can compare with our lives such as truthfulness, honesty, forgiveness, because we have not perceived the subtle gains or fruitful results that come to us without following these values. Or, it may happen sometime that we fail to realize the importance of values in life. Ethics, on the other hand, guide us how we actually behave in difficult situations that test our moral fiber. Ethics are the code or principles on which one’s entire development depend. Values and Ethics are closely related; in fact it reciprocates to each other. Values are essential to ethics development at every age and can be instrumental to building a sustainable environment.

As we have already explained you before about how to determine the quality translation or how it is not determined by the happenstance or influences of either works of companies or by the influence of environment; it is not measured in material possessions or in the languages confusion; it is not dependent on personality or social acclaim. On the contrary, the intrinsic value of the lives we lead reflects the strength of a single trait: our personal character. 

Here is the detailed explanation which clearly distinguishes the importance of values and ethics which needed to be properly followed by every personnel and translation services or industries to create a social build and frame a sustainable environment which should always serve quality services over the worldwide.

For Values:-

1. Translation and all of its different phases should be done under the knowledge of language experts, experienced, excellence and the dignified quality.

2. Every personnel should know and differentiate the translation and quality translation. Only quality translation is needed to be accepted and reproduced at everywhere.

3. During the process of localization, entire localization kit and all valuable instructions should be followed.

For Ethics:-

1. Every source document should be treated as important and confidential. Only valuable and important instructions are needed to be share with respective resources (linguists).

2. The each and every processes of localization should be done by the sworn translators, editors, proof readers, and reviewers. The document has been reviewed for accurate terms and, it should be linguistically correct.

3. During localization, it is required to provide the highest quality linguistic services by integrating the most innovative processes, technology, expertise, and efficiency for our client’s benefit.

4. Delivering of the document is not just gaining accounts but keeping them also satisfied, project after project, which counts. 

5. Quality control procedures should be strictly followed and measured.

   

This final phase deals with an area not as salient as some of the others. Even it not deals with the necessity of compromises.Most of an individual's ethical development occurs towards their involvement in any organization. The localization organization, to a large extent, is mostly dealing with individuals whose value base has been established. If the values of every individuals and their ethics might implies to each other than organizations are as much as to bring it in ethical individuals with ethical decisions.

There are three qualities are involved which helps us to make ethical decisions. The first quality is the ability to recognize ethical issues and the reason to ethical consequences of decisions. The second ability is to have exposure about the order effects, one of the elements of strategic thinking, which is very important. The second quality is the ability to determine at alternative points of view, deciding what is right in a particular set of circumstances. This is similar to the ability to reframe. And the third quality is the ability to deal with ambiguity and uncertainty; making a decision on the best information available.

CONCLUSION

Establishing moral principles means determining the core values which should guide the organization. One of the famous people has suggests following the four considerations (i.e., PDCA): Plan, Direct, and Control & Act.

By plan, we can analysis the requirement of any project and plan it accordingly. The direct phase advice and instructs us to initiate, execute and move ahead of the projects accordingly. In control phase, we put our efforts over controlling the errors and then at last in act phase, we again do a quick survey or review throughout the starting to ending towards any project.

By achieving the above mentioned four paradigms i.e., planning, directing, controlling and then acting of any projects, it will help us to do provide an error free or quality based delivery to the end client.

VALUES AND ETHICS OF TRANSLATION-II

Translation enforces the appearance of any language and their consequence over the work. In order to accommodate the increasing need of bridging the language gap and make available in almost all the types of fields or domain, it is necessary to build up certain norms and standards, over that you can able to hire the personnel. In present scenario, it is very difficult to follow the value and ethics in the translation and also to maintain the dignified sustainable environment or localizing world. Here, we are not enforcing about ethics in terms of commitment to quality standards, confidentiality and other issues related to the translation business, but it is required for every translation industry to maintain the ethical decisions taken by translators or linguist in order to accept any job.

It is hard to embark on a career that, what would be the values for translation. There is no doubt that our values should be the part of our personality, and these values are acquired either by the culture and traditions of the country/region which we were raised in and what our family has taught us. Can these values confront to our work with our decision to accept any job? We know the answer is not as much as easy, but we think that it may indeed raise some ethical controversy, as is the case with some other professions.

Today, we may face one of the greatest problems for modern translators are the question of remuneration and prestige. This two are of course intrinsically linked. If we looking at the history of translation and translation studies, then we must found that how the prestige of translators has ebbed and flowed like the tides of the sea. There was a time when translators were known as great artists, cultural experts and greatly respected, and revered for their work which they did. Now, today, it’s a big question for us that are we really as much as capable to select or choose the correct translators or linguists for its respective assignment. And, based on those prestige’s they are acquired or demanding for remuneration, which changes their overall thinking. It should be like this, the translation or the effort should be in comparison with praise not with money.

There are two solutions are available for this problem. Firstly, an improvement in the overall quality of translation either by training or researches and secondly, a social campaign to inform society of the need for better language use and therefore a greater respect for language skills and in turn a greater respect for the work of translators.

VALUES AND ETHICS OF TRANSLATION-I

In this era, decision-making processes leading to a plan of action which directs to the hiring of any personnel or their dismissal must be carried out in keeping with an authorized way of code of conduct. Considerable efforts have been made by society in recent years towards eradicate workplace problems, whatever be the situations, such as quality issues or fail to meet the deadlines, internal bandwidth or conflicts, wasting of money and interest. Every subordinates and superiors are strongly encouraged and required to resolve any conflicts with discretion, honesty and respect.

There are few examples like appropriate using of the terminology contained in the approved glossary of management values and ethics which was prepared from terminological information gathering from prior authorized linguists who have sufficient knowledge to express, judge and prove their values and ethics which helps us to overcome from any of the situations.

Along with a number of definitions and observations, the terminological content on management values reflects new trends being adopted by everyone from client to linguists, so that we can serve the quality products to the market with valuable and effective worth. We’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the ethics of translation and our role and responsibilities as a professional translator or supporter; it may happen that your thoughts and views will clear reading this article. It has been observed that the ideas can be developed fully and should be acceptable and adjustable in any environment also to solve the problem with immediacy and spontaneity over fragmentation and simplification.

We need to develop the intercultural communications with our clients, without judgment, and as a linguists, we have to strictly follow the professionalism grounds to decide that a text, however controversial its content and provided it doesn’t break any law, should not be translated. Its our duty towards both potential clients and the recipients of our translations. As an individual, however, we have to choose or create certain morals, principles and independent opinions, which can make us very comfortable to handle with any problematic situations with a particular subject and lead to a schizophrenic conflict with alter ego, as a professional translator.

Act of translation, with the help of tools such as glossaries, style guides, toolkits and reference material, creates a process and decorum for any translator to localize any content of a document: they are act as arms for any translators or linguists.

Whether you are in dilemma or not, its your responsibility to adopt what decision would you have take, so that a better and convenient way will come out.

HOW TO JUDGE ANY LANGUAGE TRANSLATOR?

I hope that you all agree with this point that the feedback which we normally received from the end users about any product or services will ensure us to judge the quality of any product or services. In translation industry also we judge the quality of the finished product based on the translation quality of any linguist. But the question is how a company obtains an effective and quality based translation from their translators or linguists.

First of all, selection of any translators, editors, proof readers and reviewers are done based on several criteria, also they required to know what the priorities, exact project was and who will be the end user. All are depend on selection of best linguists to accomplish the task. Diversity of domain, context area, content, project importance and its various paradigms will consider and forced us to select on that basis only. Sometimes companies will ask "native speakers" to read the translation and tell them if it's any good or bad, and then have to compare with conflicting evaluations. 

The problem usually is related with that the evaluators are either not very mush qualified to judge, or afraid to offend.  It may also happen some times, that although native speakers, there are some peoples who have lived in the other foreign countries for years and have lost touch with their native language, or never knew it very well, particularly if they were educated in other places.

It may also happen that the translator which you had chosen to complete your tasks is of well known, domain specialist native linguists. But it is not necessary that you will get the same for review and proof reading. So, it very much required to fill the feedback forms before handed out to the desired candidate. We can also mark or categories to rank it as excellent, good, fair, or poor.

With the help and support of some QA tool you can also judge and ensure about the translation quality from technical perspectives. For assurance about linguistic quality, it is must require to inspect and get the feedback from third party reviewer who will review it and follow all the client instructions, norms and standard. In standardization of any rules and regulation is always includes the concept of glossary, style guides and special instruction which you neither violates nor ignore. The deviation and inflection of glossary might be happened but only when they have the specific and sufficient reasons or explanation behind it so that each and every linguist will able to prove their translation as quality translation and maintain the dignity and standard of the complete assignment.

You always require remembering that your end user is not a qualified translator and is not judging the translation, but they can assure you about the quality of the finished product. The fact is that the average user of a translation has no idea how to judge them, and usually gives an opinion based on civility, orneriness, desire to please, or any number of other factors. So, the selection of every process should be very identical and clear so that from very first to last everyone should understand it and follow it.
