Translation machine - honyakukikai

Japanese: 翻訳機械 - ほんやくきかい
Translation machine - honyakukikai
This refers to a machine that translates a language commonly used by humans (called a natural language in contrast to artificial languages ​​such as computer programming languages) into another natural language, and translation by this type of machine is called machine translation or automatic translation.
[Research History]
It was the American Warren Weaver who first pointed out the possibility of translation being done by computer (1946). 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, the need for translating Russian scientific and technical documents led to government investment in research in the United States, and research was also conducted in the Soviet Union, Japan, and Europe.
