The history of machine translation dates back to the early 17th century. Many institutions and organizations used machines to automatically translate research abstracts, Mormon texts, technical manuals among others. For example
The French Textile Institute also used Machine Translation to translate abstracts from and into French, English, German and Spanish. Today the progress and the potential of machine translation is questionable. With the great number of qualified translators of different languages today the use of machine translation to me seem not necessary. Well much as machines would be considered accurate, human beings can still do the same as machines, further the operation of machines still need human input to perform a particular task, so to that effect humans seem more superior than machines. Of recent the machine translation has become more expensive due to high costs of operation such energy/electricity and other operating expenses. I would therefore recommend human translation other than machines. any way this is my personal opinion I do not know yours?.
