Research on the Development Status and Difficulties of Machine Translation in the Era of Artificial Intelligence

Machine translation builds a bridge for cross-language communication by realizing text conversion between different languages. However, there are still many challenges in achieving context-accurate translations. These mainly include how to accurately capture subtle information in context, effectively resolve the ambiguity of polysemous words, properly translate idiomatic expressions, accurately reflect cultural differences, and correctly use terms in specific fields. This article reviews the existing platforms and the latest research results in the field of machine translation, deeply explores the above-mentioned key difficulties, and explores the introduction of artificial intelligence technology. The aim is to improve the overall performance of machine-translation systems, facilitate smoother communication and understanding among people from different cultural backgrounds, further eliminate language barriers, and promote the in-depth integration and development of global multiculturalism.
