Technical translation:
It is a process of translation in which involves humans translating.
It involves human translation, where people are the ones who decide which term gets to be translated. In other words people use dictionaries, uses creativity, and knowledge to translate. Also technical translation places emphasis on people doing the job translating rather than using computer, or software as an aid to translation. People tend to have a hard time understanding when it is not considered human translation with a help of technology being a software is involved. People tend to think that it is more efficient to have a state-of-the-art software do all the translating. Well that is not the case in most cases. Despite the technical advances soft wares still lack human knowledge when it comes to translation.
Scientific translation:
It involves a theory and device or machine to translate.
People fail to see when using different means of technology to translate is not considered human translation. The reason for that is people tend to consider simple things such as using google translation to be human translation since a human is involved. Well that is not the case in most instances. Today there is a huge dissagreement in regards when it is considred not human translation. When one relys only a transaltion software to translate it is considered Scientific translation. Whereas on who uses software to just double check its somewhat considred Technical translation but not totally.
