Will machine translation replace human translation?

No. Despite the advancements that translation technology has made in recent years, it is doubtful that machine translation will replace human translation. Although machine translation (MT) meets the speed requirement, the solutions provided in the target language are often inaccurate or hilarious. Without the intervention of a human translator, using MT alone would lead to inaccuracy and style inconsistency. If used for day-to-day trivia or casual topics, translation engines can be trusted, yet not for specialised translations such as technical or medical, where human translation has time and again proven its superiority.
