| Why so many non-native English translators?? STE makes MT a viable option!! | Sep 15, 2014 |
Hi all,
It is very curious to see that nearly all of the attendees are non-native English speakers - why do you all need to know about writing technical English? As good professionals, as defined by ProZ (the irony), shouldn't you only work into your native language??
Do you all realise that English texts written according to the rules of STE can be easily and quite accurately translated by Machine Translation, thus the industry's interest, "translate once into English then... See more Hi all,

Hi Neil,
Purpose of this webinar is the introduction of STE as a controlled language.
MT is not an accurate tool for STE, since it is not accurate anyway - if it was we would not be that busy.

You pointed out that there are many non-natives. Knowledge never hurt anyone, has it? It does not mean that the colleagues will start translation into English since this is not an English course (and I am no native speaker of English either).
Best regards,
Irene
Best regards,
Irene
