But is that true? And even if it is true, MT should give me better matches. Wouldn't discounts for matches automatically reduce the price? So, it MT really cheaper, or will we end up with worse paid translators?
14:16 Jun 6, 2014 Thanh Ha Ngo: 825574 All some worse translators use MT for translating and send that file to client without editing

14:23 Jun 6, 2014 Lucia Leszinsky: 855539 All Now, regarding the topic of this chat, I have one question: MT = good or MT = bad????
14:24 Jun 6, 2014 Henry Dotterer: 1 All MT is good if we have a positive mindset
14:25 Jun 6, 2014 Lucia Leszinsky: 855539 All I agree César!
