Motivation
In De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium, Copernicus posited a heliocentric vision of the universe. Of course, people did not immediately cease to believe that the sun revolved around the Earth, but the pronouncement certainly signaled a paradigm shift.
The necessity for a paradigm shift also became clear in the localization industry with the advent and popularization of computer aided translation (CAT) tools. Currently, machine translation (MT), will be the harbinger for a similar change. Consequently, much like computer-aided translation tools in the late 1980s and 1990s, machine translation solutions will become mainstays by dint of necessity. The role of a human translator will never cease to exist. On the contrary, it will expand to include a post-editing role.
Exciting new horizons will open up and bring their own unique challenges and rewards. Our task is to recognize the role machine translation will continue to play in the coming years and prepare for the new challenges that we, as clients, localization service providers, technology companies and translators will be facing.
Language barriers are merely a reflection of increasing human diversity, and translating from one language to another will always be a human need like the need for understanding. After all, until Copernicus’ work was translated, the earth revolved around the sun only in Latin!
