Not everyone speaks the same language as you do, especially if you travel abroad. However, people from several countries can speak and understand English, but there are many more languages being spoken. Language barriers used to be pretty common in previous years, but with the advancement of technology and the development of language translator tools, it has become a lot easier to explain your thought to someone who doesn’t understand your language.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, doctors and health officials
from different countries, speaking different languages are constantly
performing their research. As soon as they discover something worth sharing,
they need to share it with the entire humanity to create awareness. This is
where the language barrier became a challenge. But the language translator
tools can help in such urgencies as well.
The following are some machine translators that are
automated to translate text or speech to different languages. However, it
cannot work as efficiently as human translators do as a massive amount of
information is needed to be fed in them. But these tools are no less than a
blessing when immediate translations are required.

speech immediately from one language to another. Just type your sentence or
speak up, and tap on the ‘translate’ option. Google Chrome, Firefox, or Microsoft
Edge have been pretty impressive in it.
