Overreliance on CAT Tools
Translation terminology management tools can be incredibly helpful in ensuring that terminology is consistent across translations. However, there is a risk of relying too heavily on these tools, which can result in translations that lack the depth, creativity, and cultural sensitivity that human translators can bring to the process. If we rely too much on terminology databases, we may end up with translations that rigidly stick to pre-set terminological guidelines, sacrificing fluency and the ability to capture cultural nuances. Language is dynamic and often requires flexible adaptation to convey idiomatic expressions, cultural references, and regional nuances accurately. To produce translations that are not only technically correct but also culturally and contextually relevant, human translators are essential to provide the expertise and finesse required to navigate the intricacies of English and Turkish.
Constant Updating
Language is a constantly evolving entity, with new terms, idiomatic expressions, and industry-specific jargon emerging over time. In order to keep terminology databases up-to-date and accurate, regular updates are necessary. This can be a time-consuming and demanding process that requires staying informed about the latest linguistic shifts, industry developments, and cultural contexts. In the fast-paced world of English-Turkish translations, frequent updates can place a significant burden on those responsible for maintaining terminology databases, potentially diverting resources and effort from the actual translation process. Human translators, however, provide the adaptability and real-time linguistic awareness needed to navigate these constantly changing linguistic landscapes effectively.
