Translation can be distinct as the way of interpretation of sense of an article and following with the reproduction of comparable content. The content or writing to be translated is known as the "source text". The source text is translated to a language known as "target text". In other words, translation is the way of converting one form of language into another form without changing the meaning. It includes the processes which translate one sculpture of writing language to second writing form of language.
Nowadays translation has become the first and foremost tool to have an improved understanding of culture. It has achieved its recognition in the past couple of years.

But looking at the present situation translation study can be mainly divided into two categories. One is the automatic translation. In this category translation work has been taken place by computer software. The most important point in mechanism is to understand that it works on specific rules. The software first analyzes the source text before transmitting the grammatical form of source language to the targeted form. It is also named as machine translation. It is a process which does not include the interference of human mind rather it is translated through current technology.

There are certain advantages those are provided by the automatic translation. Its first advantage comes with the comparison of human brain. As it works through certain computer software, it takes less time to translate a definite content than a human translator. However, it is cheaper as well as reliable to translate through an automatic translator than a human translator. Through this system you can even translate any web content or enquiry of search engine by a more convenient way. This becomes very much helpful and efficient when language translation takes through the languages which belong to same group such as families like French/Spanish, Portuguese/Spanish and Italian/Spanish.

There are also some disadvantages present in the automatic translation. As it is based on the computer software which follows systematic rule, so it is unable to solve the ambiguity. Although it is cost beneficial because it has the general idea or generating the primary breeze of a translation, it is unable to provide good quality translation consistently. The main disadvantage is that if you command the machine translator to re translate the translated language to its original form, then the targeted text has a very high possibility of having errors which make the process of translation very silly.
