Translation technology has changed the translation industry in a big way. Translators are facing a transformation that impacts their work, income, and control over their translations. Despite the negative impacts, there have also been positives. To better understand the importance of machine-assisted tools in achieving translation quality, we will conduct a thorough exploration. Specifically, we will evaluate the quality of literary texts that have undergone machine-assisted translation to uncover the underlying themes. Utilizing machine-assisted tools for literary text translation often leads to noticeable differences in translation quality. Therefore, a systematic approach based on theoretical frameworks is needed instead of relying on random conventions or practices. Although advancements in translation technology have not significantly impacted translating literature, the state of publishing presents difficulties for translators and copy editors alike—smaller fees and tighter deadlines can lead to a lack of quality control.
