Would you recommend MT for French content?

    Our team is interested in using MT to add and clean up cataloging data about various products. The work would needs to be done both in English and in French. Do you think there are enough French-speaking Turk workers to make it a good solution? Or if you haven't had to request work in French, did you do so with any other non-English language?

    Thank you very much for you help.

    Bonjour Mathieu!

    I took French in high school, but that was a long time ago, so I don't think I would be able to help you.

    What I suggest however is you check out the forum at Turker Nation (just google it). There are more members in that forum so I believe your poll will have better results there.

    Bon Chance! :)

    Bonjour Mathieu,

    Moi, je serais très content à vous aider. J'ai pris un examen qui s'appelle "Qualification English to French" il y a 3 semaines, et je n'ai pas reçu de reponse de l'auteur, Oz Wilder. J'ai fait des HITs en français pour Dolores Labs et je l'ai aimé beaucoup. J'espère qu'il y aurais plus de HITs en français. Et moi, je suis américain.
