The reaction to the new Samsung folding phone has
pretty much come down to: a nice step forward to
nowhere... Very clever and well done, but is it really
useful. (Okay, it's February and a lot of us are in the
dark and damp...)
One female reviewer did mention it was great for showing things
to others, without having to parade that big phone in one hand.
She also said she liked that it could sit L-shaped on her desk; that's
my kind of thinking on it. Perso, I would find it very useful for some
of the translation -editing I do.
I take an English language article, have Google machine translate it into
French and edit the French text. It is, however, editing of a whole new kind.
When a machine translation goes awry, one often can't even tell what was intended.
(For the machine, in fact, nothing). One needs to go back, find the spot go back
to the original - have a giggle - and retranslate the offending bit.
