However, official tourist guides are prestige publications that help create an image of the place. As such, they should not be marred by information that's hard to understand nor by poor English style – or worse still, by translations that are laughable. Such publications should be entrusted to Expert Translators, whatever the price, or at very least REVISED by native English speakers who have some acquaintance with the country.<br /><br />I took a look at the Akita Comprehensive Tourism Guide (http://www.akitafan.com/en/index.html). An obvious mistake of English in the very first line of the first screen: "Full of tourism information in Akita!" ought to read, "...information ABOUT Akita!" Still, definitely not 'raw' MT,and on the whole the information given does a good job of making me wish I could visit the region. Indeed the mistakes are just enough to make me feel it's a Japanese person painting the picture.translatologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11562130468577763310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267894446738309734.post-54824421114765465932012-07-24T04:58:49.461-07:002012-07-24T04:58:49.461-07:00I see the greatest contents on your blog and I abs...I see the greatest contents on your blog and I absolutely love reading them.<br /><a href="http://www.latitudeprime.com" rel="nofollow">translation service</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489364767833418571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267894446738309734.post-42672853777821767282012-07-19T17:50:33.898-07:002012-07-19T17:50:33.898-07:00One more comment. myGengo is set in an economic ag...One more comment. myGengo is set in an economic age of precarity. The usually young people behind all those initiatives were born with precarity as a matter of fact, and they are applying exploitation of others as a matter of fact too, without an ounce of political consciousness. The rare ones that get noticed by investors may end up zooming up the ladder and exploit on a grand scale. For after all, myGengo model is nothing but fastfood, and you and I would not like to flip patties. In that sense, tasting the goods from myGengo is unconsciously supporting the model. I try and avoid fastfood as possible. Some people translating for peanuts through that scheme may deserve more, but have to also feed the system to individually survive, and by doing so perpetuate a dynamic where precarity rules.Lionel Dersothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08968402690141949197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267894446738309734.post-16622718068516093962012-07-19T08:28:27.260-07:002012-07-19T08:28:27.260-07:00As I see it a shame that not a single translator w...As I see it a shame that not a single translator would comment to your valuable posts, let me react at least to this you wrote: "they should pay more. It's true for some knowledgeable users, individual or corporate". Things are not that simple. Here in Japan for instance, many municipalities would set up English versions of city web sites using machine translation. And they don't hide the fact but warn that as a result, expression may be at times not exactly appropriate. In one recent case, Akita prefecture used machine translation for tourism promotion. The word Akita has an homonym that means something like (I) got bored. And of course, what was due to happen happened. Should have they used MyGengo?Lionel Dersothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08968402690141949197noreply@blogger.com
