In 2013, I went to Greece for a conference with my son. Due to the language barrier, he observed: "Why didn't someone invent an apps that can automatically translate what we say in our language (Malay) to Greek?"
This post is dedicated to him. He is an engineer now, soon to complete his master's in Mechanical Engineering. More on the AI Language Translator here.
Excerpt:
"As Doctor Netaya Lotze says – “Artificial intelligence is on the rise…However, some key criteria still need to be met before it can serve as a substitute for a real-life language teacher: spontaneity, creativity and shared knowledge.”
Our advice? Don’t forget about your English classes yet, but make sure you have your phone on hand for those difficult moments, just in case."
