Abstract

In this research, we have established, through empirical testing, a law that\nrelates the number of translating hops to translation accuracy in sequential\nmachine translation in Google Translate. Both accuracy and size decrease with\nthe number of hops; the former displays a decrease closely following a power\nlaw. Such a law allows one to predict the behavior of translation chains that\nmay be built as society increasingly depends on automated devices.\n
