1) Do you thing machine translation ineluctably affect the quality of the translation? 2) Do you think machine translation is ever going to replace human translation? 3) Do you think machine translation discredit the value of human translation in the mind of the general public? 4) Can we say that a good translator will be a good post-editor? 5) Is post-editing a specific task that can be a professional field of expertise? 6) How can translators take advantage of post-editing? 7) Is post-editing an appropriate answer to the increasing amount of material to be translated on the internet? 8) Can post-editing be the solution to use machine translation in a more appropriate and accurate way? 9) Is machine translation currently seen as were the CAT tools a few years ago? 10) Is post-editing a must-have skill to new translators for the upcoming years?
