of translation by computer or machine translation (MT). At that time different
modes of translation were compared. That is, human translations against
different versions of MT. Soon the researchers conducting the studies were
able to add to their observations from the output of the latest MT system that
had become operational. Within a year, they submitted a Russian paper for
translation by the then operational MT system. Two characteristics of MT
output are: 1) untranslated words and 2) translated words that have two or
more meanings in the target language

. An examination of the post-translation
editing showed that many corrections had been made: each of the approximately
80 sentences had had some corrections and modifications, most of them being
extensive. About 35% of the English words had been altered by the editor.
It would be unwise to conclude on a less-than-optimistic note. However, it
is apparent that little progress has been made during recent years. There are
no demonstrated advantages of MT over human translations. Other methods
should be applied to determine the readability of translation. Researchers are
now collecting such data.
