Coincidence? I think not! Over at the Savvy Newcomer<\/a>, ATA’s Blog for Newbies to Translation and Interpreting, a recent post talks about MT and how the savvy translator can use it – just at a time, when MT is on everyone’s mind, especially if they attended the BD\u00dc conference in Bonn last month (which I wrote about here<\/a> and here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

After giving a short overview of the historical development of MT, the article goes on to talk about when and how to use MT wisely – ther term the author, Lynne Bowker, uses is \u00abMT Literacy\u00bb. Being MT literate means that you understand how it works and when and how you should use it.<\/p>\n

My favorite paragraph is this one:<\/p>\n

\nIt\u2019s not perfect, and no reasonable person would claim that it is better
\nthan the work of a professional translator. However, it would be
\nshort-sighted of translators to dismiss this technology, which has
\nbecome more or less ubiquitous.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
