Reviews
The importance of a human translator before, during, and after machine processing cannot be overemphasized. I couldn't agree with it more after reading The Human Factor in Machine Translation, which explores the human-machine interaction in machine translation, localization, terminology management, and crowdsourcing translation. With its theoretical insight and pioneering research, this book is a good choice for a wide range of readers including teachers and students of Computer-aided Translation, users, developers and suppliers of machine translation systems, managers of translation agencies, and professional translators. You should read this book if you want to translate more efficiently and effectively at a lower cost. John Wong, Translation Lecturer, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Featuring contributions from international experts, this inspiring book provides professional translators, researchers and CAT developers with invaluable insights into the human factor in translation technology.
