Human precision will always outperform computers.

Computer Translation

Computers cannot truly understand the sense of your message
They cannot decode subtleties nor catch humorous touches
Results are not targeted to your audience
Complex ideas and ambiguous expressions are not clarified
Errors in original documents are not corrected

Consequences

Translation errors and lengthy, heavy text
Failure to engage the interest of readers
Embarrassment, loss of credibility, and tarnishing of your image
Loss of clients or business opportunities, problems, lawsuits
Supplementary costs for adequate reworking of texts

"Transforming ordinary words into extraordinary language."

Colette

Automatic translation systems establish connections according to statistical rules and calculations
A human translator relies on intellectual capacity to choose words

Example

Épilation au laser, épilation à la cire, électrolyse
Hair removal, hair removal, hair removal (automatic translation)
Laser hair removal, waxing, electrolysis (human translation)

Computers acquire data.
Humans accumulate experience.
