During the lockdown, online communication has become essential. People rely more on the Internet for work, study and social interaction. Language communication, as a key link, faces new challenges and opportunities. Traditional manual language translation is limited by time, space and human resources under this special situation. At this time, emerging technologies such as machine translation have begun to play an important role.

Machine translation can quickly convert one language into another with the help of advanced algorithms and big data. This has shown efficiency and convenience in emergency situations, such as information transmission and medical resource coordination during the epidemic. It breaks down language barriers and enables people from different language backgrounds to obtain important information more promptly.

However, machine translation is not perfect. When dealing with some complex language structures, cultural connotations and professional terms, it may produce inaccurate or inappropriate translations. For example, in the medical field, accurate terminology translation is crucial for correct diagnosis and treatment. If machine translation makes mistakes, it may lead to serious consequences.

Despite certain limitations, the development trend of machine translation is still unstoppable. With the continuous advancement of technology, its translation quality and accuracy are also gradually improving. In the future, we may expect the emergence of more intelligent, accurate and humanized machine translation systems to better serve human communication and cooperation.

At the same time, we cannot ignore the importance of human translators. With their deep understanding of language, familiarity with cultural background and flexible adaptability, human translators have an irreplaceable position when dealing with high-demand, high-quality translation tasks. In some important diplomatic occasions, literary translation and legal document processing, the role of human translators is particularly prominent.

In the context of Malaysia's full lockdown, we have seen the potential and shortcomings of machine translation. This has also prompted us to think about how to better combine the advantages of machine translation and human translation to achieve more efficient, accurate and high-quality language communication. Whether during the epidemic or in the future globalization process, smooth language communication is an important factor in promoting social development and progress.
