The Human Factor in Machine Translation

Machine translation has become increasingly popular, especially with the introduction of neural machine translation in major online translation systems. However, despite the rapid advances in machine translation, the role of a human translator remains crucial. As illustrated by the chapters in this book, man-machine interaction is essential in machine translation, localisation, terminology management, and crowdsourcing translation. In fact, the importance of a human translator before, during, and after machine processing, cannot be overemphasised to ensure the translation quality of machine translation in the future. The volume explores the role of a human translator in machine translation from various perspectives affording a comprehensive look at thistopical research area. This book is essential reading for anyone involved in translation studies, machine translation or interested in translation technology--
