The role of a translator is shifting into a machine translation post-editor and whether it is a positive or a negative outcome is discussed in the field of translation frequently. This study aims to firstly examine the brief history of machine translation and the differing systems of machine translation engines, and afterward, point out a few significant elements of the differing machine and human translation. Mainly the machine translation post-editor’s perceived difficulty as opposed to a conventional translator and the lack of accuracy in conveyed sense and meaning in machine-translated culture-bound, literary texts. To finalize, this research paper aims to clarify a few consequential ethical issues that have surfaced with the profitable emergence of translation memories. Translation memory data banks are increased in quality with translation studies conducted by human translators and this practice raises several ethical discussions regarding intellectual property ownership. Protection of translators through copyright laws is a noteworthy subject, especially considering the fact that machine engines are considered to be literary translators in the future.
