Google uses its own data mining technology to facilitate the research.

Diction The word fits, but is it the correct

word for the best translation possible?

A nuance in wording can have a major impact on the messaging of the translated document.

Using their own knowledge of the industry, languages, etc., translators can find the best word available.
