How useful is a legal instruction if it is a machine translation?
My work environment is being increasingly shaped by machine translation. To better understand the use and implications of this new instrument, I did a research project under guidance of a university professor specialised in translation technologies. In order to evaluate the usefulness of MT, I was able to organise an experiment (many thanks to all 80 participants!). For me as a professional translator and interpreter, the results of the experiment were surprising and encouraging.
