Machine translation is a method of translating a language that is commonly used by humans (called a natural language in contrast to artificial languages ​​such as computer programming languages) into another natural language. Translation by such a machine is called machine translation or automatic translation.
[Research History]
It was the American Warren Weaver (1946) who first pointed out the possibility of translation being done by computer. In 1955, experimental translation systems from Russian to English were created at Georgetown University, IBM research labs, and other institutions in the United States. Since then, research into translating Russian scientific and technical documents has been funded by the American government, and research has also been conducted in the Soviet Union, Japan, and Europe.
