Nowadays it is possible to use computers and mobile phones for automatic language translation, and there is no need for human translators and interpreters. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

#computers #phones #language #translation #translators #interpreters
Artificial Intelligence has made huge strides forward in terms of automating numerous task in
this
 century.
One
 of the products of
this
technology
 is a voice translator from
one
 language to another, which is generally embedded in mobile phones and computers. Even though it is quite helpful on many occasions, I believe that it might not vanish the dependency of human
translators
 in future because of many reasons which are put forth in subsequent paragraphs.
To begin
 with, the prominent reason in
this
 context is that
this
technology
 is futile in converting emotions of the speech or text. It is generally seen that a human translator often intimate emotions
such
 as happiness, sadness, astonishment and so on while interpreting language.
However
,
this
 aspect is devoid in
this
 emerging
technology
 of translation, owing to which it is unlikely that human
translators
 can be fully replaced in future.
For example
, many audiobooks, which are being converted in many languages from the original
one
, are so mundane that readers often resort to
ignore
Change the verb form
ignoring
show examples
 them because of lacking emotions.
In addition
, automatic
translators
 lack the ability to convert some metaphorically spoken words from
one
 language to another. It is primarily due to the fact that the computer is still way far behind in understanding the context of the situation.
In contrast
,
this
 is not the case with human
translators
 who are expert in every angle in which words are spoken and written.
This
 situation clearly depicts the role of the human translator, which seems impossible to intimate by the machines. To conclude,
although
 automatic systems are quite handy in converting small texts, yet I assert that
this
technology
 cannot replicate the human
translators
 in terms of emotional intelligence as well as understanding the exact context of the spoken and written words.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
