  4. Funny translation of imperative sentences

  5. From Javanese-English

  6. Some translators use translating software like Rekso or TransTools. Some of them buy it and some of them hacked it freely. Why they use them? Why? Because they want to save times on the initial translation and spend more time in the editing process. • Did it help? YES, but not as much as I want it to be. They still need to look at the original material over and over again to make sure that he translation result is proper or appropriate.

  7. On the other hand, with various translator software people believe that they don't need a translator. NOT ENTIRELY TRUE, it depends on the software and the final editing. If you are using Google Translator (especially for longer sentences/ paragraph), you will end up with more nightmare and headache, believe me.

  8. So, friend or foe? it's up to you to decide. However, you should not feel inferior compared to this software. This is the marketing line," I will do the translation for you word by word, not simply by hitting a 'translate' button and it's done. It's 'hand-made and personal' translation."
