Machine translation is also known as automatic translation or translation software. Machine translation enables users to translate content from one language to another. Even though machine translation is useful, it cannot replace human translations, especially for legal documents or literature. Machine translation software produces translations of approximately 80% accuracy and higher. Companies often market themselves as Machine Translation providers but actually sell word by word translation software, which usually has extremely low accuracy. Therefore, you should find out exactly what kind of translation software you are purchasing, as it could affect your translation drastically.
