Machine Translation vs. Human Translation
"[...] from a machine translation (MT) system, "the resulting literary style would be atrocious and fuller of ‘howlers’ and false values than the worst that any human translator produces". The reason was that "translation is an art; something which at every step involves personal choice between uncodifiable alternatives; not merely direct substitutions of equated sets of symbols but choices of values dependent for their soundness on the whole antecedent education and personality of the translator" (Holmström 1951)."
