THE TRANSLATION RESULTS OF GOOGLE TRANSLATE FROM INDONESIAN TO ENGLISH

Abstract

Google Translate is a free multilingual translation machine developed by Google that can assist translators to make their translation functions easier and faster. The aim of the research is to analyze whether it can be relied on as a substitute for translators. This research used a literature analysis method by analyzing the results of the translated book and machine translation. The result found that it cannot replace translators. It has its limitations, including understanding the context and cultural situation of a nation. Therefore, this machine is useful only in assisting the translation process.
