Abstract
Machine translation has grown very rapidly in recent times due to the developments in big data, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing software and techniques. The first generation of Rule-Based Machine Translation has been replaced by fourth generation of Neural Machine Translation based on complex deep learning and networking models. Translation models have also undergone tremendous changes. The traditional translation model fails to meet the needs of the modern language service industry. There still exists doubt whether Translation technologies could enhance the quality in the translation of non-technical texts. So far no one has discussed the application of the technologies in the translation of IMTFE Transcripts. This paper aims to prove that translation technologies can be applied to the translation of IMTFE Transcripts which the author works on. By analyzing the text features of IMTFE Transcripts, and applying different translation technologies in the translation, the author finds that the quality and efficiency of translation have been greatly enhanced. It is concluded that translation technologies can be used to facilitate translation of texts of different kinds. In spite of their drawbacks, translators can still benefit a lot from the adoption of translation technologies.
