Spanish Translation Software, Can it really be that Easy?
Often in today’s world there is a need to translate documents from
English to Spanish. In the past, all language translation had to be
done manually by someone who was fluent in both languages. However,
today the
alternative exists to use language translation software to translate
your documents. The software translation is never 100% accurate, due
to the variations
possible in written languages. However, the translation can be good
enough for you to understand the basic meaning of the document.
What is Gisting Level Translation?
Translation software companies often refer to something called “gisting
level translation.” You may have heard the phrase to “get the
gist” of something. For example, if you have a basic understanding
of computers, then you can easily “get the gist” of an article
written about a new hardware or software product.
In language translation, gisting level translation refers to the fact that
the software is able to translate a document well enough so that you can “get
the gist” of the original document. You will likely find words out
of place, or grammar oddities within the software translated document, but
you will be able to read it enough to understand its basic information. You
will easily be able to get the gist a document which has been translated
using an English to Spanish converter.
If you do not write the language you will be translating a document into,
it is always a good business practice to let the person receiving the document
know that you have used a software translator. When they see words out of
place then they will most likely understand what the software was trying
to say.
It is also a good business practice to send along a copy of the original
English document with the one which has been translated by software. By sending
someone both documents, you allow them the opportunity to review the translation
for themselves if they have any questions.
What is Publishable Level Translation?
If you have a need to translate English to Spanish, or translate Spanish
to English, then you can easily get a gisting level translation using software.
However, if you have the need to have 100% accuracy in your translation,
then you require what is often referred to as a publishable level translation.
A publishable level translation always requires someone who is bilingual
in both languages to proof the software translation for accuracy and clarity.
While software translation offers you a wonderful alternative when you simply
need a gisting level translation, if you require a publishable level translation
you will need to have the assistance of someone who is bilingual in both
languages to clean-up the software translation. However, by first being translated
through software, the human translation should take less time and cost your
company less money.
