The
internet
is becoming more useful.
individuals use different
internet
based
language
translation
applications to converse. There are various benefits and drawbacks to
this
.
Nonetheless
, I believe
this
is a positive trend.
The
first
advantage to be considered is that, it is very convenient. To put simply, it makes people's life less stressful, as individuals would not need to overwork themselves trying to learn a new
language
to communicate with foreigners. Since they can do
this
easily now with one click of their phone. Not only
, the use of
internet
translators
also
ensures that more money is saved.
This
is because rather than employing a human translator or pay for
language
classes, an individual could download a free online
language
translation
app on his device and be able to converse in any
language
in the world.
Consequently
, more money is saved which could be used for rainy days.
For example
, Danielle, my cousin, had a smooth transition, when she migrated to Poland for study without having to incur unnecessary costs trying to learn Polish because she made use of these apps. If these things were not available,
then
she would have spent more. Evidently, it can be seen that convenience and cost effectiveness makes
this
more beneficial.
Despite the aforementioned benefits, usage of these services still has some drawbacks including loss of culture. To elaborate,
language
is the mouthpiece of a culture and with the convenience associated with using these kind of
language
translators, people would be less likely to take up new languages.
Hence
, cultural diversity would be lost over time.
For instance
, I had the opportunity of learning my mother tongue, when travelling to my hometown for
, but I found it too stressful and
instead
used a
translation
app during my stay there.
Additionally
, an increment in
is another disadvantage. Since, there is less need for the services of a human translator,
therefore
, these people are thrown back into the job market though they are a minute amount.
As a result
, poverty rate increases and the economy suffer. In all, it is apparent that
internet
based
translation
services
some drawbacks though I feel they are not so significant.
To conclude, though there are some disadvantages to online
language
translation
services like loss of culture and jobs. I strongly believe its' benefits
such
as convenience and cost effectiveness significantly outweighs
this
.
