초록

Amid increasing demand for machine translation, the present study investigated the need for the introduction of post-editing courses as part of the master’s degree program in translation. Ten translation trainees participated in the study. The result indicated that machine translation was useful for simple tasks such as translating short sentences, enumeration of nouns, and changing numbers and proper nouns into Chinese characters. A number of errors were found, however, such as misinterpretation of context and failure to join sentences properly, which were hard to tackle in the post-editing stage. Above all, participants experienced confusion as to the scope of post-editing, that is, how far they should go in altering the product of machine translation. One positive observation was that machine translation could evolve as a useful tool for translators if punctuation marks are better recognized and larger databases are built. Continued research would help guide the introduction of machine translation in postgraduate translation curriculum and explore teaching methodologies that respond to the major market trend of machine translation.
