The purpose of this study is to analyze the typical mistakes made by modern multifunctional machine translation systems. The article analyzes fragments of educational texts translated using the computer programs PROMT and Google Translate, and identifies the main shortcomings of these types of translations, which are compared with a sample made by a person who has the skills to translate foreign language texts. As a result of the analysis, the authors conclude that electronic translation systems make a significant number of lexical, grammatical and stylistic mistakes.
