At present, computers occupy a significant place not only among programmers and engineers, but also among a wide range of users, including linguists, translators and specialists in need of rapid translation of foreign languages. In this regard, computer dictionaries are a very convenient tool to save time. Now there are programs-translators who can produce more or less adequate translation of foreign texts. This work is devoted to the analysis of some linguistic software products aimed at the translation process automation.
This research topic can be considered quite modern, since the history of development and implementation of personal computers in everyday life (and especially those that could carry out more or less modern machine translation programs) has hardly more than fifteen years. This topic is particularly relevant if we take into account the fact that Kazakhstan is now increasingly integrated into the international community and that, along with economic and political barriers, this is largely hampered by language barriers. At the same time, there are not so many professional translators who are able and willing to carry out such a process of communication of communities in all spheres of science and culture, the consequence of which is that their services are not cheap. Therefore, now it is particularly relevant to search for ways to automate the translation process carried out by a person, on the one hand, to facilitate the painstaking work of a human translator, and on the other-to make this work as effective as possible.
The purpose of this work is to determine the degree of use of modern software products for translation, as well as to identify the most promising, in our opinion, areas of research in the field of its automation.
In accordance with the aim of the study, the objectives are::
- Find out the differences between electronic and traditional paper dictionaries;
- Determine the most effective way to organize electronic dictionaries;
Analysis of machine translation systems on the example of the translation made by PROMT company and comparing samples of translation from a translation made by a human. Analysis of the causes of non-compliance.
