On the differences between human translations.
In: 22nd Annual Conference of the European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT 2020), 3 -5 Nov 2020, Lisbon, Portugal (Online).
Many studies have confirmed that translated texts exhibit different features than texts originally written in the given language. This work explores texts translated by different translators taking into account expertise and native language.
A set of computational analyses was conducted on three language pairs, English-Croatian, German-French and English-Finnish, and the results show that each of the factors has certain influence on the features of the translated texts, especially on sentence length and lexical richness.
The results also indicate that for translations used for machine translation evaluation, it is important to specify these factors, especially when comparing machine translation quality with human translation quality.
