Dear MEL Topic Readers,
How real-time translation could transform travel – and what we might
lose
Nowadays, when you travel to a place where a different language is
spoken, smartphones help you communicate with the locals almost instantly,
including at the airport or hotel, in a restaurant or store, on the street, or
with a driver or a flight attendant. With smartphones, non-English speakers no
longer need to use a middle language like English, but they can communicate with
each other directly in their own languages, which causes less frustration and
misunderstanding. Now, Apple has introduced a live translation feature with its
new AirPods Pro 3. It translates the language spoken to the user almost simultaneously
while showing the transcripts on the iPhone. For now, only the latest AirPods
users can enjoy hands-free conversation in different languages among themselves.
Soon, other smartphones will be equipped with such real-time translation
powered by AI. Also, AI may soon mimic the way the original speaker talks. Such
technology will surely help people communicate in different languages more
smoothly and effortlessly. If so, do we still need to learn other languages or use
a middle language like English?
Read the article and learn about the new AirPods that translate other
languages instantly.
