Do you feel Robots can work as Language translators in future due to the advancement in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning & Robotics Technology?

Thanks & Regards,

Don't they already? You can download apps in the App Store and Play Store currently that will decode your voice and translate what you're saying in real-time.

The issue with computer translations is that they don't take into account dialects and culture. As you know, in India, dialects can differ from city to city, but digital translations are mostly catered to formal speech.

It’s also important to remember that not all communication is verbal. By picking up on conscious and subconscious gestures and expressions, a talented interpreting professional brings a level of mutual understanding to a multilingual dialogue to which tech cannot (yet) compare.

Generally, as computers programs become more intricate, translation technology will improve, and that's one more job lost to robots.
