Comparing the Effectiveness of Google Translate and MateCat Tools in the Translation of Scientific Texts from English into Arabic
Journal Title: In Translation / في الترجمة - Year 2022, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Translation technological tools are receiving major updates continuously. Even though machine translation (MT) is one of the most used technologies, computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools proved to be more reliable in aiding translators with their challenging tasks. However, combining these two into what is called Machine Translation Enhanced Computer Assisted Translation is an interesting trend. This paper primarily focuses on introducing the MateCat tool and explaining how it works. Then, it employs a descriptive approach to compare two translations of a science article from English into Arabic using Google Translate and MateCat, respectively. This process aims to see how well these tools carry out this task in certain areas. The results show that the translation quality of the MT-enhanced MateCate was better than that of the stand-alone Google Translate tool.
