connected with great difficulties and takes much time, whereas the quality of translation
is far from being always satisfactory. However, it should be noted that such powerful
tool as computer can still be used for translation and this variety of translation is called
computer-aided translation. Unlike machine translation, which is wholly automatic,
computer-aided translation is a tool to assist human translation. In the process of
computer-aided translation a translator is using a machine-translation system for the
search of equivalents both for individual words and small text fragments.
So, any machine translation of present day needs a thorough proof reading and
editing. Very often it takes no less time and effort and may be as tiresome as the usual
hand- made translation.
