　　Translation Technology Will Not Eliminate Language Learning

　　The emergence of automatic translation technology, such as Google Translation and Skype Translator Preview, raises the debate whether it will eliminate foreign language learning. It is pointed out by the above excerpt that automatic translation technology will overcome the problem of inaccuracy if data of context examples is enough. However, the author also holds the opinion that translation tchnology will not eliminate language learning, as language learning is not only related to information exchange but also a way of knowing the essence of the culture of the target language. Therefore, automatic translation technology, rather than saving people the efforts in language learning, becomes a useful intermediary which can surely arouse people’s passion for language learning by affording them the ease in receiving information from other languages. As I see it, translation technology will not eliminate language learning.

　　Firstly, the current “automatic” translation technology is still in its developing phase, instead of eliminating language learning, the R&D process requires more talents in language studies. The key technology used, including text-to-speech, or speech recognition, text analysis, language matching, can only be realized by masters of both the source language and the target language.

　　Secondly, instead of “automatic” translation, a more appreciate way of calling the technology would be computed aided translation (CAT) because the translation offered by translation software needs further editing and proofreading before being used, a provess requiring more people who are proficient in both languages.

　　Lastly, getting the information conveyed by languages is not the only purpose of learning languages.Learning languages will guide people into other cultures and other ways of thinking, which cannot be realized by only reading translated texts.

　　Based on the reasons above, automatic translation technology will not eliminate language learning; instead, it will boost language learning in the R&D process, editing prcess and arouse strong enthusiasm for people who want to know another culture through languages.
