Problems Of Arabic-english Machine Translation: Evaluation Of Google’s Online Machine Translation System

Authors : Khaldi Anissa .

Abstract

The present article discusses problems of translation from Arabic to English using the online machine translation system of Google. As Arabic and English are distant languages from two unrelated families, machine translation is bound to face many problems in producing coherent translations between these languages. This article is confined to diagnosing and analysing problems related to lexicon and syntax. The aim is to highlight the danger of relying blindly on Google’s online machine translation.
