New Trends of Machine Translation

I. Abstract Miller (2010) stressed in his article on the current machine translation systems. The author explained the components of a machine translation system from the standpoint of software, linguistic components, and users' demands. The importance of pre-editing and post-editing is stressed. The semantic and contextual processings are essential to obtain a better translation quality, which are the future problems to attack. Attention is given to the difficulty of contemplating a pivot method in machine translation instead of transfer methods, because the projection from a word or a phrase to a concept is very difficult if we want to have a very exact concept representation and translation. A new transfer method which accompanies the pe-transfer structural adjustment and post-transfer adjustment is explained... Systems always are imperfect, and users must use them after recognizing the possibilities and the limitations of the system, that’s why various trends in this domain will be discussed in this notation.
