Source text - English
Translation by computer is generally referred to as Machine Translation (MT). Machine Translation is the use of computer re to translate text or speech from one natural language into another. Machine Translation does not simply involve substituting words in one language for those of another but deals with the application of complex linguistic knowledge. This complexity is quite a challenge to human beings and more challenging to computers.
Somers, (2003) argues that the largest area of growth for translation demand is now undoubtedly based on use of the internet. This is the need of the occasional use for software to translate web pages, e-mails and other internet resources and texts, either off-line or on-line, and the demand for on-line internet based translation services for companies. For instance, a lot of material mostly written in English is being translated online into Kiswahili.
