Website translation- Why you shouldn’t use Google Translate.

Do you think website translation is easy? Well, many of you may consider translating your website with a quick copy-paste from Google Translate, well, don’t do this for your own risk.

Google Translate can be useful if you are trying to read a website written in a foreign language to your language. You can even use Google Translate to browse an entire website in your native language. But if you are planning to publish your own website, for both personal and business, you may want to hire a professional translator or translation agency to avoid any risks!

Google Translate or Papago or any other online translation tools are all based on algorithms as they are impersonators of human languages. Since it is computerized translation tools, they are far from being perfect as they make serious mistakes. Google Translate gets bugs and glitches causing incorrect translations. Not only this but also, when you use metaphors or an idiom, the translation from online translation tools can be nonsense.

Hire a professional translator

Google Translate isn’t all bad if you are simply browsing a website or if you need a quick literal translation or word to word translation. However, you shouldn’t risk your website. You need a professional translator who is an expert in target languages you are trying to translate your website into. Not only grammar, vocabularies or even sentence structures, professional translators have a deep understanding of context, idioms or metaphors to ensure the message, words and tone of the website are maintained.

Google Translate is free and quick but if your website is translated incorrectly, it can lead to legal issues. This would make you eventually re-translate everything which is time-consuming and thus, more expensive.
