In this article, we examine the complex relationship between language and technology, with a particular focus on advances in translation and interpretation tools. In an increasingly interconnected world where communication barriers remain, the development of these tools plays a key role in promoting cross-cultural understanding and cooperation. Exploring the intersection of language and technology, this article examines the evolution of translation and interpretation tools, their impact on various fields such as business, diplomacy and academia, and the challenges and opportunities they present. In addition, we discuss the future prospects of these tools in bridging language differences and promoting global communication.
