It was just as I thought! Unexpected pitfalls of machine translation

It was just as I thought! 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 used to struggle with English sentences for tens of minutes with a dictionary in hand, but now we can understand the general meaning with a simple copy and paste operation. It's truly a dream-like story.


There are risks with machine translation.
While machine translation is convenient to use, did you know that the information being translated is also being transmitted to the MT service provider (such as Google)?


Of course, it is unlikely that a company as large as Google would leak confidential information and misuse it, but it is a problem to use machine translation carelessly and leak highly confidential information to the outside.


In general, when using machine translation services from a website of an MT supply company, users are providing translation data as development assets in exchange for using a convenient tool for free.
It is inevitable to say that it is dangerous to use a machine translation site for translating highly confidential information for the general public.
This means that the benefits of the progress made in machine translation technology cannot be utilized in business.
