Translation and Technology: Transforming the World of Language Translation
Abstract
The merger of translation and technology is a powerful force that is changing the face of language translation in an increasingly interconnected world. The book "Translation and Technology: Transforming the World of Language Translation" explores this complex relationship in depth, following its historical development, examining the condition of translation technology today, and predicting developments that are expected to completely transform the industry in the future. This study examines the advantages and drawbacks of technology-driven translation, covering moral and cultural issues while exhibiting practical uses in a range of industries. Translation technology comes in the midst of this shift as a catalyst for accessibility, cross-cultural understanding, and global communication. The following article provides a brief overview of a thorough investigation that explores the complex interactions between language, technology, and interpersonal communication, finally illuminating the transformational power of translation in our interconnected global society.
