Sad Sep 18, 2018

"NMT based systems are the future of professional translation services". How sad. Technology is destroying our profession and our market, something must be done to stop it. How I miss good ol' paper dictionaries and translation typed on paper.

Good luck with that Sep 20, 2018

I have post-edited NMT output before. I can't speak about other languages but for JP>EN it was hell. And the client had a thousand and one requirements for quality, expecting a finely polished translation from a pile of garbage. Never again.

A post was deleted because it referred to the BB status of the company mentioned in the title of this thread. How can that be against the rules, since the main topic of the thread itself is about said company, and the deleted post only referred to an objective fact (the BB status of that company)?

If companies cannot be discussed on the fora (but this rule seems to be applied quite "selectively"...), then delete this thread altogether...

...the main Amazon language is English so there is still great hope to understand a text
