Analyzing the effects of google translate on the quality of Korean-Vietnamese translations among Vietnamese students

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the influence of Google Translate (GT) on the quality of Korean-Vietnamese translations produced by Vietnamese learners. An experiment was conducted comparing two groups of learners: one using online dictionaries and the other using GT. The findings indicate that while GT can expedite the translation process, it struggles with translating culturally-specific terms. Moreover, learners exhibited a reliance on GT's output, leading to a lack of initiative and diversity in their translations compared to those using online dictionaries.
