LANGUAGE IS POWER DO YOU THINK YOU ARE USING MACHINE TRANSLATION PROPERLY?
CAUTION
THIS MACHINE HAS NO BRAIN
USE YOUR OWN
Machine Translation is used by 200 million people each month. 71% of students and non-professionals worldwide considered it a great solution for sporadic translations. Even though it is an amazing resource for translating short pieces of text, it is often neither efficient nor accurate for proper communication.
Using a dictionary can help you prevent mistakes that could make you seem nonprofficient in front of your boss or teacher. Take a look and see for yourself what the proper dictionary could do for you.
