Pathfinder : Machine Translation

Scope Note :

A form of translation where a computer program analyses the text in one language - the "source text" - and then attempts to produce another equivalent text in another language - the target text - without human intervention (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_translation).

Used for :

Automatic translating
Computer translating
Electronic translating
Machine-aided translation
Mechanical translating

Broader terms :
