Google Translate – Translation Quality Analysis<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

BuyBoard has partnered with EPIC Translations as a vendor for translation and interpretation services for all of its members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had promised to show you a real-life example of a simple paragraph that Google Translate translated from English to Spanish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should know that all free translation tools like Google Translate excel at working with the Spanish language. In spite of that, the translations are only 80% to 90% accurate at best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without further ado, here is the short paragraph translated by Google Translate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Original English Text<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might be thinking, \u201cthis looks okay to me\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what if you don\u2019t speak Spanish regularly? And what if you\u2018re not able to clearly tell the mistakes in the Google translation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suffice it to say, you are translating for your Spanish speaking audience. And if there are errors in the translation, they will be able to tell right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We shared the translation produced by Google Translate with our team of Spanish translators and this is what they had to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feedback:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  •  \u201cdeclaraci\u00f3n de visi\u00f3n\u201d is too literal of a translation and sounds because it should\u2019ve been translated as \u201cvisi\u00f3n\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u201cuno\u201d is a general masculine translation of \u201cone\u201d, but this sentence is actually introducing options (feminine). Therefore, the most accurate translation should be \u201cuna opci\u00f3n\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    • For stylistic purposes, it\u2019s better to start all bullets with a verb, in this case \u201cSomos\u201d. This is called parallelism and it contributes to perceiving the whole text as a unit. Also, the implied use of \u201cwe\u201d in \u201csomos\u201d gives the idea of a company with a strong philosophy of teamwork and a sense of belonging.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The verb \u201ccontribuye\u201d is a more formal version than \u201cayuda\u201d to translate \u201chelp\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      • The order of the sentence has been changed to put more emphasis on the technical solution and then on the benefit this solution will bring about for the company.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Feedback<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • It\u2019s a serious mistake to treat ONE as if it were a proper name. Whereas, translating it as \u201cUN \u00daNICO\u201d gives the idea that there are different brands connecting as ONE company.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \n\n\n\n

          As you can see, Google Translate can\u2019t produce an accurate translation even of a simple short paragraph. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          There\u2019s a 12% to 15% error rate. This high of an error rate might be okay for informal or internal content\/documents where misunderstandings of the text are tolerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          However, if you are distributing documents that require 100% accuracy then using Google Translate is not a good choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          And your target audience might be confused or worse, misunderstand what you are actually trying to communicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          EPIC Translations would like to suggest that you should be careful when deciding to use Google Translate for formal content\/documents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
