Ackuna's New Updates: Know "Cheats" And "Bad Translations"

Living up to its promise of filling up the lacuna in the translation business, #-Link-Snipped-# has come with two new updates. The launch of Cheating Translator and bad translator tries to refine the finer nuances of translation; as close as possible to what people in real life would intend. The rampant use of machine translation tools as a quick and easy way to translate documents by some “self proclaimed“  human translators leads to degradation of quality and some unbelievable grammar mistakes. The professional translators get affected and due to some bad apples in the basket, their relations with customers get affected. Ackuna.com (a brainchild of Translation USA) has created  #-Link-Snipped-#s  and #-Link-Snipped-#  in response to the bad quality inherit in machine translators.

Cheating Translators helps individuals know if a machine translator was used to inappropriately translate their document after they have paid for, and should have received, a professional translation by a human translator. If a customer is questioning the quality of his or her received translation, the Cheating Translators application helps address their concerns by comparing the original text with the translated text to calculate the probability that their translation was completed by an automatic machine translator. The new website now features a modern and fun layout with an industrial theme. It feels as if we are processing some complex raw materials to get  comparative results.  Cheating Translators works by allowing the user to paste the source text in the left hand panel of the machine, and the translated text in the right hand panel. Once the 'Go' button is clicked, the machine performs its calculations and the 'printer' at the bottom of the screen displays the results. The team at Ackuna have improved its accuracy and scope by comparing the translation not just to Google Translate but also to Bing Translator and Yahoo Babelfish as well. The results give a percentage of how much the translation matches the machine translator results from each site.
Bad Translator, the entertaining website that shows the humorous side of machine translations, is updated with algorithm to provide a few more options for the user. Bad Translator shows just how silly translations can get by utilizing machine translation tools and translating text back and forth between different languages to result in a mix of grammatically incorrect and incoherent nonsense. For this latest version, user gets the option to use Bing Translator either in place of Google Translate or in combination with it. There is an option to randomize the order of languages the text is passed through, thus creating varying results each time it is used. “My friend has two cars. ” gets translated to “Of friends.” After 50 translations via google translation.
Translation USA’s claims on  working steadily to improve our applications, and develop new programs to help overcome linguistic barriers are not just shots in the air. Launch of Bad translation and Cheating Translation proves it. We can hope Ackuna to come up more of such exciting features to make translations as human as possible.
