A translation invariably reflects the writing style of the translator. Sometimes when a long document needs to be translated quickly, several translators are put to work on the job, each assigned to translate part of the document. In these cases, the result is usually a translation marked by different and often incompatible writing styles. Certain computer programs for language translation that work without the intervention of human translators can finish the job faster than human translators and produce a stylistically uniform translation with an 80 percent accuracy rate. Ttherefore, when a long document needs to be translated quickly, it is better to use a computer translation program than human translators.
The issue of whether the problem of stylistic variety in human translation could be solved by giving stylistic guidelines to human translators is the least important to resolve in evaluating the argument.
