Semantic Error in Lexical in Machine Translation

The study found two main types of semantic errors: confusion of sense relations and collocational errors. Confusion of sense relations included using general terms for specific ones and using incorrect synonyms. Collocational errors also occurred. Fourteen translation procedures were used in the Instagram translations, with literal translation being the most common. The document discusses examples and implications of the errors and procedures.
