Over the years I’ve lost quite a few projects to people translating legal contracts, user guides, websites and most recently, translating food packaging, with Google Translate. Do you just have one big computer who does all the translation?.Do you use Google Translate for all your translation?.Why should I pay you anything when I can get Google Translate to do it for free?.So basically you do the same as Google Translate?.
It’s surprising (to me, at least) how many times I hear things like I’m answering it here on the language blog, to share with anyone who may be guilty of having the same thoughts. But I guess if you don’t work in the language industry, you might perceive Google as a trustworthy company who can do no wrong, so you could be forgiven for thinking that their machine translation would be equally reliable. If I’m honest, it annoyed me that I should have to answer it at all.
