I knew it! The unexpected pitfalls of machine translation

Regardless of GNMT, we have entered an era where we can easily use the convenient tool of machine translation in the world.
In the past, we struggled with English texts for tens of minutes with a dictionary in hand, trying to grasp the meaning, but now we can understand most of it with simple copy and paste operations. It's truly a dream come true.


There are risks associated with machine translation.
While machine translation is easy to use, did the readers know that the information being translated is communicated to the MT service provider (for example, Google)?


Of course, it is hard to imagine a company as large as Google leaking and misusing confidential information, but it is a problem to carelessly use machine translation and inadvertently expose highly sensitive information to the outside.


Generally, when users utilize machine translation services from the websites of MT supply companies, they are providing translation data as a development asset in exchange for using a convenient tool for free.
It must be said that translating highly confidential information using general-purpose machine translation sites is risky.
This way, the benefits of the advanced machine translation technology cannot be utilized in business.
