Abstract The use of machine translation in the field of migrations seems to be very limited and, in view of the latest developments, it is only natural to explore its usefulness in the migratory context. In an attempt to introduce this technology into this particular area, this article reports on a qualitative study on translators’ perceptions towards machine translation and post-editing tasks. The findings of the study indicate that both are not widely developed within the migratory context and further work is required. Based on our findings, we believe that this study can contribute to opening the way for machine translation and post-editing tasks to be included into the field of migrations.

迁移语境下机器翻译的有用性研究：译者的感知分析

摘要机器翻译在迁移领域的使用似乎非常有限，鉴于最新的发展，在迁移环境中探索其有用性是很自然的。为了将这项技术引入这一特定领域，本文对定语者对机器翻译和后期编辑任务的看法进行了定性研究。研究的结果表明，两者在迁移环境中并未得到广泛发展，需要进一步的工作。根据我们的发现，我们相信这项研究可以为将机器翻译和后期编辑任务纳入迁移领域开辟道路。
