Evolution of modern machine translators
HL content: Modeling & Simulation[1]
Machine translation, (sometimes referred to by the abbreviation MT) is a sub-field of computational linguistics that investigates the use of software to translate text or speech from one language to another.
On a basic level, MT performs simple substitution of words in one language for words in another, but that alone usually cannot produce a good translation of a text because recognition of whole phrases and their closest counterparts in the target language is needed. [2]
