Typy translatorów automatycznych w tłumaczeniu metafor

Different Types of Machine Translation Systems in the Process of Translating Metaphors The two main topics discussed in this article are machine translation systems and metaphorical constructions translated by such systems. I briefly present the history of machine translation, its evolution and types of the most widespread engines, taking into account their architecture. I describe rule-based, statistical and neural machine translation, taking Translatica PWN, Google Statistical and Google Neural Machine Translation systems respectively as examples. Having discussed the notion of metaphor, I finally analyse examples of metaphorical expressions and idioms translated by the described engines, compare the final outcome and present my conclusions.
