Our goal is to help human beings communicate, that's our mission. Our job is to help that process happen in an elegant manner. Elegance never comes from miscomprehension. You cannot have miscommunication and elegance. On the subject of translation, Faubert is equally eloquent.
Translation is so difficult.
It's quite an achievement, I'd say, when you can actually concoct a meaningful, beautiful, efficient message in another language. As for the team at Alis, Faubert doesn't hide his admiration. Our attitude is one of openness, tolerance, not just tolerance of diversity, I'd say, but the quest, the deliberate quest for diversity where people are encouraged to develop multiple and maybe apparently unrelated skills. Alis has always placed as high a premium on technological excellence as it does on linguistic competence and content quality. He doesn't pretend that the tool produces publication quality translation.
