Dear MT-listers Thank you very much for all answers I got on the subject of MT and copyright issues. Here comes an abstract of them:
Christine Bruckner pointed me to the book „Machine Translation - What Language Professionals Need to Know“, editor J. Porsiel (see https://www.bdue-fachverlag.de/detail_book/128), which has a chapter “Übersetzen mit Software, wer ist der Urheber”. (To translate with software, who is the author) Stephen Richardson, president AMTA and IAMT, mentioned "in the MT systems I’m familiar with (MS, Google, etc.) there’s almost always a statement in the terms of use that they do not own the rights to any content produced by their systems." Michelle Vanni suggested contacting translator societies, such as the American Translator Association, Jost Zetzsche’s group, among others, as well as peruse their annual meetings for contributions on these matters. Finally, Joss Moorkens pointed me to his book chapter written with Dave Lewis, (http://doras.dcu.ie/23974/) and specifically to the "Bird and Bird report from 2014, commissioned by the EU, in which Troussel and Debussche opine that MT output ‘would not be protected under copyright given that it leaves no room for human creativity and would therefore be deprived of originality’.", which id available from https://op.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/e079e290-e250-482d-9d4f-dae566ba67ff To all of you my warmest thanks Diana Diana Santos <[email protected]> escreveu no dia terça, 28/01/2020 à(s) 19:14: > Dear members of the list > I wonder if any of you can point me to cases where this situation has been > described or discussed before. > > Namely, the case of using an MT system to do a preliminary translation, > post edit it, and then publish it. > > Are there guidelines about how to cite the MT system?
