I'd personally never found the improvements of Google Translate to be as dramatic as described in the article, but I do find it both cool and promising as time goes on. Machine learning and AI improvement improve at such a rapid pace that I can't help but wonder how auto-translations will be in ten years or by the end of the century. Of course, since other technology will also be improving at such a rate, I don't think it'd be farfetched to imagine a world where holograms are able to translate in real-time. Being able to cross the language barrier in an efficient and accurate manner can be so helpful in both formal and non-formal situations such as at a G20 gathering or just some friends from around the globe. While it'll obviously take quite a bit of time, I'm excited to see where auto-translations will take us. I think it'd also be cool to see auto-translations to serve as proofreading or maybe translators will find themselves looking over and fixing a translation made via Google Translate. I do think it'd take some fun out of the process, but it's an interesting possibility. I can't wait to see the various applications of auto-translation in the coming future.
