8. Why translation is difficult for computers
Doug Arnold · Benjamins translation library · 2003
Why is it difficult to get computers to translate? Our answer to this will be in two parts. The first part consists of some general remarks about the nature of translation, and the abilities of computers. These will lay out the ground and provide a general but rather unsatisfactory answer to the question. The second part will look in more detail at the sorts of problem that create the difficulty, and provide a more detailed and revealing answer.
