Human translators and Google Translate utilize different methods to achieve language translation, with human translators relying on their proficiency in two languages to convert text from one language to another, and Google Translate relying on neural machine translation and human contributions. While Google Translate can deliver instant results in many languages, human translators have a full understanding of the grammar structures of the languages they work in, enabling them to provide an equivalent meaning rather than a word-for-word translation.
Moreover, human translators can understand emotions, empathy, and the deeper meanings of text, which can significantly affect the quality of the translation, particularly for creative or emotional content. On the other hand, AI translation may literally translate idioms, leading to a misinterpretation of the intended emotion. While Google Translate can be useful for obtaining quick translations of text, it may not always provide accurate or nuanced translations, making human translators the preferred choice for accurate and nuanced translations, especially when dealing with formal topics, well-structured text, and simple sentences.
