To examine the benefits, performance limitations, and cultural adequacy of machine translation systems compared to human translation, specifically analyzing Bulgarian as the source language and English as the target language.
Conducted a systematic literature review synthesizing evidence across 47 peer-reviewed articles, three books, and one academic thesis.
Evaluated machine translation outputs across linguistic dimensions including fidelity, adequacy, lexicon, and cultural context.
Machine translation systems accelerate document processing speed but fail to accurately reproduce subtle cultural, social, and idiomatic nuances.
Computer algorithms lack the contextual understanding required for full translation fidelity, preventing machine systems from acting as universal standalone replacements for human translators.
Optimal linguistic quality is achieved through collaborative synergy, combining artificial intelligence efficiency with human editorial refinement.
