Keywords:
Machine Translation, Human Translation, Artificial Intelligence, Linguistic Accuracy, Contextual Understanding, Translation TechnologyAbstract
The rise of machine translation (MT) has sparked an ongoing debate about its effectiveness compared to human translation (HT). While MT offers speed and accessibility, HT ensures cultural and contextual accuracy. This paper explores the strengths and weaknesses of both approaches, highlighting the cognitive processes involved in human translation and the technological advancements driving machine translation. By comparing their accuracy, efficiency, and adaptability, this study aims to determine the best approach for different translation needs.
