Advancements in Machine Translation and Cross-Language Computational Applications: Techniques, Challenges, and Future Directions

Abstract

Over the past few years, there has been spectacular growth in Machine Translation (MT) and cross-lingual computational processes based on developments in neural network architecture and the availability of large data sets. This paper presents a detailed overview of recent work, identifies major challenges, and proposes potential directions for future research. The discussion of the latest developments in machine translation begins with an overview of neural machine translation (NMT) and transformer-based models. It also addresses long-term challenges from low-resource language translation to persistent translation quality and intricate cross-linguistic variation control. Furthermore, the paper explores trending research directions and emerging trends, including zero-shot translation, cross-lingual embeddings, and interdisciplinary synergies among machine translation and other NLP tasks. By integrating such results, this paper intends to contribute to existing research and innovation, triggering further advancements in MT and cross-language technology.
