Case Study Analysis: The Impact of Interpreting Between Russian and

English

1. Introduction
This case study analyzes the challenges and opportunities in interpreting between Russian
and English. The analysis is based on a speech by the President of Uzbekistan at the Abu
Dhabi Sustainability Week Summit, presented in Russian with multiple translations:
- Official English Translation
- Google Translate Version
- Yandex Translate Version
- AI Translator Version

Each translation is examined for accuracy, structural fidelity, semantic consistency, and
cultural appropriateness.

2. Analysis of Each Translation Version

2.1. Official English Translation


Strengths:

- Maintains grammatical correctness and diplomatic tone, essential for high-profile


speeches.
- Ensures cultural appropriateness, avoiding direct literal translations.
- Key terminology is correctly rendered.

Weaknesses:

- Some Russian expressions are simplified or omitted, potentially altering emphasis.


- The translation tends to favor diplomatic ambiguity.

2.2. Google Translate Version


Strengths:

- Provides a quick and literal translation.


- Suitable for basic understanding of the text.

Weaknesses:

- Word-for-word translation leads to awkward phrasing.


- Some idiomatic expressions are misinterpreted.
- Inconsistent terminology across sentences.

2.3. Yandex Translate Version


Strengths:
- More context-aware than Google Translate.
- Performs well with technical terms.

Weaknesses:

- Occasionally overcomplicates sentences.


- Prone to errors in long, complex sentences.
- Some diplomatic language is misinterpreted.

2.4. AI Translator Version


Strengths:

- Attempts to maintain natural flow in English.


- Preserves meaning rather than just providing a literal translation.

Weaknesses:

- Sometimes adds slight reinterpretations instead of strict translations.


- Certain technical terms are paraphrased, which might affect precision.

4. Conclusion and Recommendations

Challenges Identified:
- Literal translations lose meaning, particularly in Google Translate.
- Terminology inconsistencies across different translation methods.
- Cultural and diplomatic nuances are sometimes misinterpreted.

Opportunities for Improvement:


- Hybrid Translation Approach: Combining machine translation with human editing ensures
accuracy.
- Standardized Glossaries: A predefined glossary of terms would improve consistency.
- AI Model Training: Enhancing AI models with diplomatic and technical texts can improve
quality.

Among the versions analyzed, the Official English Translation remains the most reliable.
However, AI-based translations, when combined with human revision, show promise in
improving accuracy and readability.
