Is the language technology snatching away the interpreter’s job?


What a pleasure in disguise! No body might have imagined the world to be changing so fast which has both the sweet and bitter flavors for people.
The recent news is about the technology invented by a translation company known as My Language, having brought a new evolution in the world of language translation industry.
                 
The main special feature of this technology is its ability to translate what you say in the native language using the local slang of the region you are traveling. Thousands of people are engaged in this translation industry earning their daily breads; seem to be in stiff competition with the newly invented language Technology of APP that will ensure people not to depend on hired translators or language interpreters every time they travel abroad. This is promulgating its waves every where giving sweet surprises to people who are very tech friendly by nature.
Sadly, this new invention will lead to the reduction of various job opportunities that are supposed to be for people learning or earning high degree of expertise from hundreds of educational institutions.

However, the bright side of this innovation is the avid travelers can no longer have to pay for hiring linguist during their stay in the foreign soil. The communication, from asking simple query like asking for glass of water or way to sitting and discussing in business seminars has an immense role to play for establishing business and personal development.

The people who are handcuffed by language barrier got a thing to be happy with coming of innovative discovery in the form of APP!!!
