In the age of technology, many people prefer using machines to translate various types of texts. Even person who knows English very well also tend to use these type of machines. Because these kinds of devices are user-friendly, fast and accessible. Moreover, it takes time just a few minutes. But It might not be always perfect and lead some translation errors. This article shows the advantages and disadvantages of human translation and machine translation. Keywords: Human Translation, Machine Translation, Technology, Communication, Translation errors, Texts, Languages, Limitation. Translation is essential in today’s globalized world ,(Wittgenstein (1922) famously stated, “The limits of my language mean the limits of my world,” reminding us how crucial translation is for expanding one’s worldview and enabling global communication. However, translation is not basic knowledge, it takes many years to learn it. Furthermore, there are some limits how many languages you can learn fully. But most people consider that it would be quite easy, if you have translation machines. With the development of technology, these translation machines are widely used. However, nobody thinks about wether it might make mistakes. Is it possiple machines could replaced human translators? This article compares human and machine translation, enlightening their limitations,veracity and helpfulness. The machine translation (MT) is getting widespread almost thousands of users every single day. One of the reason for that these days numerous people tend to make conversation with people who speak another language and start relationship with them. As a result, today, we could see, for example, 3.5 billion users, people are communicating virtually more than ever. Of course, they could not achieve that online without developed technology and translation machines. Another reason for why translation machines are getting worldwide is that it supports variety languages to translate into another language which gives more options to communicate with people. It is essential especially for businessmen and businesswomen who want to spread their works, products, and innovation the whole world and they always need for translators who knows more than two or more languages. They need a large number of languages for gaining much successes. As a result, they are using some machine translations “With the rise of neural machine translation (NMT), such as Google Neural Machine Translation (GNMT), machines have become more capable of understanding context and producing fluent translations. However, they still struggle with cultural subtleties and idiomatic expressions (Bahdanau et al., 2015).” Now we could see the translation machines advantages and disadvantages Translation machines work every day time which gives people expanding their working time. Furthermore, humans could work with it when they want. It allows to rise quality of their works “Unlike human translators, MT tools offer constant availability, which is particularly useful 42 ILM-FAN VA INNOVATSIYA ILMIY-AMALIY KONFERENSIYASI in-academy.uz/index.php/si for urgent or time-sensitive translations.”(Lopez, 2008, A Survey of Statistical Machine Translation) as this opinion mentioned, translation machines can translate huge number of texts just a few minutes (like DeepL and Google translate). Machine Translation is also cheaper costs than professional translators. Moreover, hiding professional translators demands of their types. If you need to translate general texts which belongs to your job documents, you are supposed to pay lower price. Nevertheless, if you are in the need of translating special fields, like science, biology or medical texts, you have to pay much more. But,”MT allows organizations to translate more content at lower costs, enabling global access to information.”(Koehn, Statistical Machine Translation, 2010) ,which gives for people more options to save their money. Even some machine translations are for free.”MT systems maintain consistent translations for recurring terms, which is crucial in technical and legal documents.” (TAUS Report, 2016) Translation machines know multiple language, as a result, it is used all over the world. Although it has so many profits to use machine translation, there are some disadvantages. According to linguist David Crystal (2010), while machine translation is undeniably useful, it still lacks the nuance and cultural awareness that human translators bring to the process. This limitation is especially visible in translating idioms, humor, or poetry. “MT engines still struggle with polysemy, idioms, and other context-dependent expressions.”(Gambier & van Doorslaer, Handbook of Translation Studies, 2013)Which means, translations are not almost able to translate some idioms, metaphors and old-fashion words. Consequently, translate it a little bit strange and unnatural. Moreover, there would be grammatical issues which leads some difficulties of understanding.“Ma
