INVESTIGATING THE IMPACT OF MACHINE TRANSLATION

ON HUMAN TRANSLATORS

Abstract:  Machine translation (MT) has completely changed the translation industry and presented both opportunities and difficulties for human translators. This study attempts to analyze the effects of machine translation on human translators, with a particular emphasis on how the job of human translators is evolving, the standard of texts produced by the technology, and the implications for translators’ careers. This study investigates the experiences and viewpoints of human translators in the era of machine translation using a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methodologies, including professional translator interviews and comparative analysis of translated texts. The study aims to pinpoint the advantages and drawbacks of machine translation, investigate how it affects the translation procedure, and assess how it alters the skill set needed by human translators.

Key words: Machine translation technology (MT), artificial intelligence (AI), neural machine translation(NMT), collaborate, post-editors, language skills, language innovation. 

The rise of machine translation

Advances in artificial intelligence and neural network models are mostly to blame for the significant growth of machine translation in recent years. Deep learning approaches have shown to significantly increase the translation quality of neural machine translation (NMT) systems in particular. These computers can produce translations with astounding accuracy and fluency by learning from enormous amounts of multilingual data.

Improved efficiency and productivity

Improved productivity and efficiency are two of machine translation’s most obvious effects on human translators. Large volumes of text can be processed quickly by MT systems, which then provide preliminary translations that human translators can utilize as a base. Because of the time and effort savings, human translators can concentrate on more challenging and imaginative areas of their profession. Additionally, machine translation systems can be combined with translation memories and glossaries to create a hybrid method called computer-assisted translation (CAT). The advantages of machine translation are utilized by CAT technologies, but human translators are still used to revise and polish the results. This combination enhances uniformity between translations, increases productivity, and streamlines the translation process.

Enhanced language access

The ability to translate text between a variety of languages is another key benefit of machine translation. This has made it possible for human translators to work on a variety of projects and opened up new markets. Machine translation empowers translators to handle languages they might not be native speakers of, opening doors for them to work on projects that were previously out of reach.

Quality concerns and the Human touch

Despite improvements in machine translation, quality problems persist. Particularly in specialist fields or creative literature, machine translation systems frequently have trouble faithfully reproducing the nuances and intricacies of language. Human translators have the linguistic and cultural knowledge required to provide accurate translations that are suitable for their context, guaranteeing that the original text’s content and intent are not altered.

Additionally essential to the process of localizing content for certain target groups are human translators. Since they are familiar with the cultural quirks and nuances of the target language, they can ensure that translations are tailored to appeal to the target audience. Even if machine translation is getting better, it still falls short in this regard and could result in translations that lack cultural context or the right tone.

Professional evolution and adaptation

Human translators are figuring out methods to collaborate and adapt with machine translation systems rather than being displaced by them. As post-editors, many translators are now examining and improving translations produced by machines in order to improve quality. With this strategy, translators can take advantage of machine translation’s advantages while still using their language skills. 

Additionally, translators are concentrating on specialized fields where their abilities are essential. Machine translation cannot replace the level of cultural background knowledge and language innovation required for services like transcreation, which entails modifying information for commercial and artistic objectives.

In order to produce high-quality translations, human translators are establishing themselves as authorities in these particular sectors. They collaborate with machine translation tools.

Conclusion

There is no denying that machine translation has an impact on human translators. Although AI has unquestionably resulted in considerable improvements in terms of productivity and linguistic accessibility, questions about quality and the requirement for human expertise continue. In order to guarantee accurate, culturally appropriate, and contextually suitable translations, human translators continue to be extremely important. Translators can offer high-quality translations that satisfy the changing requirements of a globalized world by embracing machine translation technologies and modifying their roles.

“Towards a bright future without corruption”

Abstract: Establishing a free and prosperous life in the society without corruption. Joint fight against corruption, formation of human consciousness and rights. Offenses related to corruption. Key words: corruption, money, state, society, law, law, offense, substance, Uzbekistan, people.

The fight against corruption remains one of the most urgent issues of today’s world. The fight against this disease covers many countries of the world. The Republic of Uzbekistan also contributes to the fight against corruption. Currently, a number of anti-corruption programs have been adopted in our republic, and extensive work is being carried out on them. Corruption arises from the attitude of ordinary people to high officials or state officials to each other. Any manifestation of this negative situation will inevitably bring the society to the brink of destruction.

It is known that today corruption has become an international problem and very serious attention is being paid to this issue. A lot of work is being done in this regard in our country. For example, the law “On Combating Corruption” was developed by our country and adopted by the Legislative Chamber on November 24, 2016. Approved by the Senate on December 13, 2016. Article 2 of this law states: “The anti-corruption legislation consists of this Law and other legislative documents. If the international agreement of the Republic of Uzbekistan stipulates different rules than those stipulated in the anti-corruption legislation, the rules of the international agreement shall be applied.

It should be emphasized again that I think it will be appropriate if we work together with our people, in solidarity, in harmony, to create a free and prosperous life in our country.

SUCCESS
⠀
What is success?
⠀
Happiness? Money? Health? Doing what you love? Family?
⠀
Success is a subjective concept and it does not come down to one factor!
⠀
We all call "success" different things. But what I wrote above can be success factors for almost everyone.
⠀
Success is the result! The blessing that comes from the actions you take.
⠀
To show results in the desired direction, you need to make an effort.
⠀
Therefore, train your brain to think in terms of results.
⠀
Otherwise, you will most likely struggle.
⠀
Let's think logically:
⠀
- success is a result.
⠀
- in order to achieve the result, a planned action is needed.
⠀
Logic!) Now I have one question: what is stopping you from taking action now?
⠀
More importantly, why don't you start?
⠀
After all, almost nothing can be achieved without action...

My tongue that entered my ear as lullaby,
My valiant tongue in the bosom of the ages,
I will write you every moment,
My blood, my language, oh, my motherland.

Come strolling, meaning my language,
Always sing like a nightingale my tongue,
He has the spirit of Navoi, he has Babur,
Let every dialect be beautiful, my language.

Every word has a hundred meanings in my mother tongue,
Every flame is a fire in every heart,
Everything ripples in this language,
Endless treasure, legend in my tongue.

This is my language, which the whole world respects.
This is my language, inherited from my ancestors.

Our family is our support and inspiration

  Our family people in life we can trust and rely on. Family is very essential part of our life. It doesn’t matter if you have a small or a big family, as a long as you have one. A family serves as the first school to the child where one learns about various things. All the good habits and manners one has incorporated are from their family only. I feel very lucky to be born in a family which has made me a better person. In my opinion our family is very essential part of our being. Family is essential as they help in our growth. They develop us into becoming a complete person with an individual identity. Family is a blessing not everyone is fortunate enough to have. However those who do sometimes do not value this blessing. Some people spend time away from the family in order to become independent.

    My family has been always by my side in ups and downs. They have taught me how to be a better person. I really respect and love them. I thank them because they always support me and they are an integral part of my life.

Modern society depends on the education system of the young generation, including its first stage – sets new requirements for primary education. State of entry into force one of the main tasks of providing primary education and upbringing according to the educational standard one is to educate a new generation of children with high creative potential.

But the problem is not finding talented, intelligent children, but children going to school purposeful formation of creative abilities in all children, non-standard in the world development of appearance lies in a new way of thinking.

The way a child of primary school age is formed, such is his life
will be. Therefore, to bring out the creative potential of every child
it is important not to miss this period. Children’s consciousness is a deep way of life and with traditional ideas about how things should be
is not limited. It allows them to invent, spontaneously and predictably
things that we adults have ignored for a long time allows you to notice.

Practice has shown that traditional forms of work cannot fully solve this problem. It is necessary to use new forms, methods and technologies. Effective pedagogical technologies for the development of creativity in children one is TRIZ – the theory of inventive problem solving. This is the 50th in our country famous Russian scientist, inventor, fantasy writer Heinrich Saulovich appeared through the efforts of Altshuller. TRIZ is unique ideas that it is possible and necessary to find, develop a creative personality and teach creativity
a unique means of proof.

TRIZ technology came to schools in the 1980s. But, nevertheless,
it remains a relevant and in-demand pedagogical technology.
TRIZ technology child adapted for children of junior school age
It allows teaching under the motto “Creativity in everything”.

The beginning of the TRIZ concept for a child of junior school age
point is the principle of conformity to nature in education. A teacher teaching a child it must come from his nature. TRIZ technology in primary education the purpose of use is, on the one hand, flexibility of thinking, mobility, consistency, dialectic, secondly, inquisitiveness, striving for novelty, speech and creativity is the development of qualities such as the development of imagination.

TRIZ for Elementary School Children: This is not to change the core program, but to improve its effectiveness is a system of team games and events designed to maximize. As G.S. Altshuller, the founder of this theory believed, ―creating a new one, of course a process combined with calculation, logic, and intuition.

Children’s creative and mental activity is significant when using TRIZ elements activates at the level, because TRIZ makes them think broadly, ongoing teaches to understand the processes and find his own solution to the problem. Invention is creative is expressed in the imagination, then various types of children’s activities – play, speech,
invents things that are manifested in art and others.

The use of TRIZ in teaching children of primary school age
allow them to grow into true inventors, who are inventive and innovative at an older age becomes a producer of ideas.
