Will technology eventually replace human translators, and if so, how soon can we expect this to happen

It is unlikely that technology will completely replace human translators in the near future. While machine translation technology has made significant advancements in recent years, it still struggles to accurately translate metaphorical language, idioms, and humor. Additionally, machine translation often lacks the nuance and context that human translators can provide, which is particularly important in fields such as legal and medical translation.

Furthermore, human translators can oversee the overall translation quality and ensure that the nuance is captured, which is where companies like Fossick thrive, providing businesses with the best of both worlds. While machine translation can save time and energy, particularly when only the gist of a text is required, human translators are still necessary to ensure accuracy and precision.

Moreover, the use of machine translation technology is not a new phenomenon, it has existed since the 1950s, and it has improved dramatically over the years, but it still has its limitations. The idea that technology will one day, perhaps soon, eclipse the translator is a pervasive thought, but it's not a new idea.

In conclusion, while machine translation technology has made significant advancements, it is unlikely to replace human translators in the near future. Human translators provide a level of accuracy, precision, and nuance that machine translation technology still struggles to replicate.
