Abstract
After an analysis of the technological training of translation students, machine translation is described and compared with human translation. Then, the professional situations for which this kind of translation is useful are considered. After enumerating the types of machine translation, some examples of free machine translation systems are listed. The final conclusion is that machine translation has achieved acceptable quality levels and can be useful for professional translators working with certain types of texts and also for Translation teachers and students.
