Abstract

Computer-assisted translation tools are increasingly supplemented by the presence of machine translation (MT) in different areas and working environments, from technical translation to translation in international organizations. MT is also present in the translation of tourism texts, from brochures to food menus, websites and tourist guides. Its need or suitability for use is the subject of growing debate. This article presents a comparative analysis of tourist guides translated by a human translator and three machine translation systems. The aims are to determine a first approach to the level of quality of machine translation in tourist texts and to establish whether some tourist texts can be translated using machine translation alone or whether human participation is necessary, either for the complete translation of the text or only for post-editing tasks.

机器翻译系统与旅游指南:探讨人类翻译的重要性
从技术翻译到国际组织的翻译,机器翻译在不同领域和工作环境中的存在越来越多地补充了计算机辅助翻译工具。MT还参与旅游文本的翻译,从宣传册到美食菜单、网站和导游。其使用的必要性或适用性是越来越多争论的主题。本文对导游的人工翻译和三种机器翻译系统进行了比较分析。目的是确定旅游文本中机器翻译质量水平的第一种方法,并确定一些旅游文本是否可以单独使用机器翻译进行翻译,或者对于文本的完整翻译或仅对于后期编辑任务是否需要人的参与。
