I believe that there are a very few people in the world who don’t like the word ‘FREE’.
However, free are not effective in all the cases. One of them is translation.
The major barrier for globalization used to be geographical areas, which we were able to conquer with invention of many tools and vessels like ships, airplanes, telephones and the mighty Internet. The next barrier is obviously the language. However, we have English serving as global language, but it cannot be as effective as maternal language, all the times. This constantly gave rise to the concept of translations.
Majority of translation used to be a paid service, in its early days. But after the invention of computers and its applications, we have many tools that could translate automatically. Language is not a straight forward entity and thus it cannot be translated as effectively by machines as it is done by humans. If you can compare a machinery translation with a manual translation, you will be able to notice that some thing is missing in the prior one. It is obviously the life in language.
