The Risks of using Electronic Translation Tools and there Negative Impact on the Essence of the Original Texts

Abstract

Machine translation tools have become increasingly prevalent in various domains, offering convenience and accessibility in translating texts between different languages. However, the use of these tools also poses risks and limitations that need to be carefully considered. This study aims to evaluate the risks associated with machine translation and highlight the importance of understanding these risks for effective and responsible use. The findings indicate that machine translation tools can result in a loss of tone and style, a lack of linguistic knowledge, and a loss of the original intent of the text. These risks can have significant implications for communication and the preservation of the essence of the original text. It is crucial for users to be aware of these limitations and to implement appropriate measures, such as training and oversight, to ensure the responsible use of machine translation tools. Collaboration among researchers, providers, and users is essential for further advancements in the field of machine translation. By understanding and addressing these risks, we can harness the benefits of machine translation while mitigating potential drawbacks.
