Problem Analysis of Machine Translation for Scientific Texts of Petroleum

Abstract

With the rapid development of science and technology, various machine translation engines come out in an endless flow, but the qualities of translation are of different level. Taking the scientific texts of petroleum as an example, this paper compares the translated results of three different machine translation engines, and analyzes the problems that arise in their translation of scientific texts of petroleum. The problems include inaccurate term translation, logic disorder in the translated version, missing of omitted words in translation.
