Research Trend in the International Literatures on Machine Translation Based on CiteSpace

With the continuous development of computer, machine translation has experienced from “mechanical brain” to neural network machine translation based on deep learning. It is constantly innovating in technology and upgrading in algorithm. With the attempt to clarify the development characteristics, development status, advantages and limitations of the machine translation system at each stage, this study collects the machine translation research data from the databases of SCI and SSCI since the 1990s and analyzes them with the assist of CiteSpace so as to looking forward to the future of machine translation.
