Translation errors in the statistical funtions of the Korean Excel 2002 software are analyzed into three categories: Pure translation mistakes; Vague translation; Inconsistent translation. These errors have not been corrected at least for the last ten years and therefore, it is suspicious that the Korean agents for foreign software companies are more interested in marketing with monololy power than in improving quality of their products

본 연구의 목적은 기계번역을 활용한 대학교 영어쓰기 수업에서 한-영 기계번역 결과물에 나타난 형태적 및 구문적 오류 유형과 그에 대한 원인을 분석하기 위한 것이다. 한국의 EFL 대학생 7명이 연구에 참여하였으며, 그들은 한 학기동안 총 3회의 영어쓰기 과제를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 학생들이 제출한 영어쓰기 결과물 중 기계번역 결과물에 나타난 형태적 및 구문적 오류의 유형을 분석하였으며, 우리말 초고와 비교 분석을 통하여 그 원인을 찾아보고자 하였다. 분석결과, 기계번역 결과물에서 가장 많이 발생한 오류는 문장구조와 표기법 관련 오류였으며, 기계번역 결과물에서 발생한 대부분의 오류는 한국어 원문의 오류로 인하여 발생한 것으로 파악되었다.

Objective : This paper is aimed at suggesting further tasks by checking and rectifying the errors of the ancieut Chinese-vernacular Korean translations of Park Ji-won(朴趾源)'s "Kumryosocho". Method : In order to correct the wrongly transcribed "Kumryosocho" was contrasted with the original "Xiangzubiji(香祖筆記)", of which the part is "Kumryosocho". And then the errors and mistakes are discovered in published ancient Chinese-to-vernacular Korean translations. Result : In the course of checking the existing translations of "Kumryosocho", this paper identified the following types of errors. 1. Errors attributable to unfamiliar names of medicinal herbs 2. Errors due to the unfamiliarity with the names of diseases or symptoms in Traditional Koreau Medicine(TKM). 3. Errors committed in hand transcription. These types of errors were committed as well in translating jargons routinely used in TKM books. To the surprise, the errors above have been repeated even in the latest version of its translation. This means that the medicine-related materials by Silhak scholars, including "Kumryosocho", were placed at a dead zone of the research between Chinese classic scholars and TKM scholars. Conclusion : To minimize errors and mistakes, it is needed to activate the cooperative work of heterogeneous experts in two academic fields.

This study analyzed the translation error factors of machine translation services such as Naver Papago and Google Translate through Self-Attention path visualization. Self-Attention is a key method of the Transformer and BERT NLP models and recently widely used in machine translation. We propose a method to explain translation error factors of machine translation algorithms by comparison the Self-Attention paths between ST(source text) and ST'(transformed ST) of which meaning is not changed, but the translation output is more accurate. Through this method, it is possible to gain explainability to analyze a machine translation algorithm's inside process, which is invisible like a black box. In our experiment, it was possible to explore the factors that caused translation errors by analyzing the difference in key word's attention path. The study used the XLM-RoBERTa multilingual NLP model provided by exBERT for Self-Attention visualization, and it was applied to two examples of Korean-Chinese and Korean-English translations.

As the artificial intelligence (AI) plays a crucial role in machine translation (MT) which has loomed large as a new translation paradigm, concerns have also arisen if MT can produce a quality product as human translation (HT) can. In fact, several MT experimental studies report cases in which the MT product called post-editing (PE) as equally as HT or often superior ([1],[2],[6]). As motivated from those studies on translation quality between HT and PE, this study set up an experimental situation in which Korean literature was translated into English, comparatively, by 3 translators and 3 post-editors. Afterwards, a group of 3 other Koreans checked for accuracy of HT and PE; a group of 3 English native speakers scored for fluency of HT and PE. The findings are (1) HT took the translation time, at least, twice longer than PE. (2) Both HT and PE produced similar error types, and Mistranslation and Omission were the major errors for accuracy and Grammar for fluency. (3) HT turned to be inferior to PE for both accuracy and fluency.

The optical method Digital Speckle Correlation Measurement (DSCM) has been extensively applied due its capability to measure the entire displacement field over a body surface. A formula of displacement measurement errors by the gradient-based DSCM method was derived. The errors were found to explicitly relate to the image grayscale errors consisting of sub-pixel interpolation algorithm errors, image noise, and subset deformation mismatch at each point of the subset. A power-law dependence of the standard deviation of displacement measurement errors on the subset size was established when the subset deformation was rigid body translation and random image noise was dominant and it was confirmed by both the numerical and experimental results. In a gradient-based algorithm the basic assumption is rigid body translation of the interrogated subsets, however, this is in contradiction to the real circumstances where strains exist. Numerical and experimental results also indicated that, subset shape function mismatch was dominant when the order of the assumed subset shape function was lower than that of the actual subset deformation field and the power-law dependence clearly broke down. The power-law relationship further leads to a simple criterion for choosing a suitable subset size, image quality, sub-pixel algorithm, and subset shape function for DSCM.

Background: The process of language translation, adaptation, and cross-cultural validation of tools for use in multiple countries requires the adoption of well-established, comprehensive, and rigorous methodological approaches. Back translation, which is the most recommended method, permits the detection of errors in the translation and the identification of words or phrases that cannot be accurately or literally translated. Objects: The aim of this study was to verify the content validity of a Korean version of a Balance Evaluation Systems test (BESTest) by using a back-translation method. Methods: This research was conducted in six steps: 1) translation of the BESTest into Korean, 2) evaluation of the translation conformity of Korean-translated BESTest, 3) evaluation of the degree of translation comprehension, 4) back translation of Korean BESTest, 5) evaluation of the technical and conceptual equivalence, and 6) completion of the Korean version of BESTest by the translation verification committee. Results: In this study, Korean version of the BESTest achieved a rating of more than 3 (moderate) for translation comprehension, and technical equivalence and conceptual equivalence of back translation were evaluated as 3 (moderate) or more. Conclusion: The Korean version of the BESTest has proven content validity and is an appropriate tool to measure balance function.

기존의 점자 부호 체계에서 한글문장을 점자문장으로 번역하는 작업은 1 : 1의 대응관계가 있으므로 아무런 문제를 야기시키지 않는다. 그러나 점자문장을 한글문장으로 번역하는 작업은 점자부호와 한글부호간의 1 : N의 대응관계로 인하여 피할 수 없는 오류를 파생시킨다. 분석 결과, 점자 부호 체계에서는 한글 초성과 숫자와의 충돌, 한글 종성과 문장부호와의 충돌, 한글 소괄호 열기와 소괄호 닫기 부호를 동일한 부호로 처리하는 것, 영문 열기 및 닫기 부호와 한글 종성과의 충돌 등이 번역 오류의 중요한 원인임을 알 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 충돌을 해소하기 위한 역점역 규칙을 제정하여, 일차적으로 역점역시에 발생하는 애매성을 앞, 뒤 문맥에 따라 해결할 수 있는 경우에는 원래의 점자 부호를 사용하도록 하고, 만일 이 방법으로 해결되지 않을 경우에는 역점역시에 충돌을 근본적으로 방지하는 확장 점자 부호를 사용하도록 하였다. 여러 가지 파일에 대한 실험 결과, 기존의 점자 부호체계에서의 오류발생율이 평균 25%이었음에 비하여 확장된 점자 부호체계에서는 번역에 따른 오류가 발견되지 않았다.

함수에서 한 표현 양식을 해석하여 다른 표현 양식으로 번역하는 과정은 함수적 사고 능력의 개발에 있어서 중요한 과정이며 함수의 지도에서 강조되어야 한다. 본 연구는 수학 수준별 함수의 번역 능력과 번역 과정에서 나타나는 오류를 파악하고 그 원인을 찾아 함수 교수 학습에 시사점을 제공하는 것에 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 고등학교 1학년을 대상으로 함수적 표현의 번역 능력을 검사하기 위한 과제를 수행하게 하고, 각 문항에 대하여 수준별로 정답률을 분석하고, 오류 유형과 그 원인을 분석하여 교정 방안을 모색하고자 한다.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the types of semantic errors made by MT in translating EFL college students' original drafts written in Korean into English. Specifically, this study attempts to find out 1) what types of semantic errors are most frequently committed by MT? and 2) how students feel about the quality of the MT-produced output? The findings from this study indicated that MT produced the errors related to accuracy (47%) the most, followed by the errors related to fluency and ambiguity (14.6% respectively). Students were well aware of the errors with accuracy and fluency but had limited ability to check the errors with ambiguity. Based on the findings, this study suggests pedagogical implications which can be implemented in L2 writing classrooms.
