“As computers translate quickly and accurately, learning foreign languages is a waste of time.” Do you agree or not?

Nowadays, Information Technology has left no way to surprise the world with its inventions. Computers are the ones among those, which make human lives easier, from doing small calculations to converting one
language
into another.
However
, some people believe that in
this
modern era, it all goes in vain if we learn different
languages
. I partially agree with
this
argument and in the following paragraphs, I would shed light on
this
to support my view. To commence with the
first
notion, there are myriad things to be shared in its favour.
First
and foremost, gaining knowledge about any
language
requires a lot of time and effort.
For example
, if someone wants to have command of a particular
language
he needs to spend at least one or two years to understand and pronounce the words correctly and
then
speak fluently.
Also
, he has to get admission to some foreign
language
institute for which he has to pay a handsome amount of money and bear travel expenses as well.
Moreover
, speaking a global
language
demands suitable circumstances.
For instance
, in Pakistan, Urdu is the national
language
and if anybody wishes to learn the Arabic
language
he should have favourable surroundings where he can practice it and speak with other people
otherwise
he must forget it with the passage of time. Shifting towards the
second
school of thought, insight

international
languages
assists folks in knowing more about the local culture and traditional values of that particular region. Let's take an example of England where English is commonly spoken. Most foreigners already know about English as well as their customs and values. They do not need to put a lot of effort to overcome
language
barriers and make good relationships with the natives during their trip.
Secondly
, insight into different
languages
creates job opportunities for many people. If a person knows and speaks multiple international
languages
he can be hired as a translator by different agencies or can be appointed as a tour guide. In conclusion, it is generally thought that there is no need to learn global
languages
as computers are there to make
this
task easy for individuals.
However
, in my opinion, both views have their own importance depending upon the circumstances and situations.
