This paper evaluates how well Google Translate and Naver Papago translate English proverbs. For this aim, the research questions include: i) are most frequently used proverbs translated more correctly than rarely used ones?; ii) what causes the translation errors? The analyses of COCA reveal that there is no correlation between the frequency of proverbs and the correct translations of proverbs in machine translation. Naver Papago translates English proverbs into Korean more correctly than Google Translate. The error analyses of incorrect translations from Google Translate and Naver Papago demonstrate that the translation errors are divided into three categories: errors from words, errors from syntactic structures, and errors from proverb format. 41 proverbs are translated incorrectly in Google Translate, but 9 in Naver Papago.
Abstract
This paper evaluates how well Google Translate and Naver Papago translate English proverbs. For this aim, the research questions include: i) are most frequently used proverbs translated more correctly than rarely used ones?; ii) what causes the translation errors? The analyses of COCA reveal that there is no correlation between the frequency of proverbs and the correct translations of proverbs in machine translation. Naver Papago translates English proverbs into Korean more correctly than Google Translate. The error analyses of incorrect translations from Google Translate and Naver Papago demonstrate that the translation errors are divided into three categories: errors from words, errors from syntactic structures, and errors from proverb format. 41 proverbs are translated incorrectly in Google Translate, but 9 in Naver Papago.
