Machine translation (also known as MT) is a powerful resource for when you need to know a simple word or phrase-but it has its limitations. However, even Google advises users that its translation API is not ‘intended to replace human translators.’ Boasting more than 200 million users daily, you’re also not the only one turning to Google for their instant translation needs.
With 109 supported languages as of April 2020, Google Translate has eliminated communication barriers globally and is making information more accessible than ever. But while machine translation engines might save you from ordering escargot instead of entrecôte, they can put you and your business at serious risk when the output is used blindly. We’ve all been there before-baffled by a foreign menu or road sign on holiday, and trusty Google Translate saves the day.
