AI and Machine Translation have witnessed significant advancements, especially since the inception of Machine Translation research at MIT in 1951. While these tools offer substantial benefits, exercising CAUTION in their usage is paramount. The principle of "Garbage-In Garbage-Out" underscores their effectiveness when appropriately employed by professionals and the potential for serious issues if used indiscriminately.

Machine Translation (MT) is often sufficient for straightforward documents or large volumes of data, as it provides extremely fast translations with a focus on basic accuracy and low cost. 

For situations where precision is critical, i.e. legal documents, contracts, culturally sensitive marketing materials, or any content where quality is paramount,  we offer Post-Editing of Machine Translation by human linguists. This service leverages the speed of machine translation and the expertise of professional human editors. These linguists refine and perfect the machine-generated text, ensuring it is indistinguishable from human translation. 

This humorous video clip is surprisingly educational and provides insight into the field of consecutive interpretation. 

Lucy, Ethel and Fred go on a sightseeing tour, where Lucy wanders off and tries to order lunch at a French cafe. She unintentionally orders snails  and moments later is arrested for paying with counterfeit money.  At the police station, one of the funniest moments appears, as neither Lucy or Desi speak French – but an inebriated man at the station speaks Spanish and German, and one of the police officers speaks German – so Lucy speaks English to Ricky, who translates it to Spanish to the inebriated man, who translates it to German to the police officer, who translates it into French for the police captain – and the words go back and forth up and down the line, ending with Lucy paying her bill without counterfeit money.
