MACHINE TRANSLATIONS

PRO

• Cheap – free translations of websites are available on the internet from BING* and GOOGLE translators. However, you will still have to integrate the translation into your web pages.
• Fast – you can also put a “translate button“* on your webpage for users to translate your site instantly.

CON

• Accuracy – machine translation are not always accurate.
• Limited – many website items cannot be translated such as navigation buttons, images with text, and forms.
• Unprofessional – cultural differences are not taken into account.

Machine translations are good for language learning or understanding the more or less what is written in a foreign language. They are not really suitable for a professional business hotel site.
