First of all, the progress of machine translation technology has brought many conveniences to people's lives and work. It breaks down language barriers and enables information to be spread faster and more widely around the world. Whether it is cross-border business exchanges or international cooperation in academic research, machine translation plays an important role.

However, the development of machine translation has not been smooth sailing. On the one hand, its accuracy and naturalness still need to be improved, especially when dealing with some professional fields or texts with cultural connotations. On the other hand, the issue of the right to use research papers related to machine translation has gradually surfaced.

Some researchers believe that selling the right to use research papers may affect the independence and innovation of research, because if the research results are monopolized by commercial companies, then subsequent research may be restricted and new ideas and methods may be difficult to fully develop and apply.

In addition, there is growing controversy over whether research papers are used as AI training data. If these papers are used to train AI systems such as machine translation models without the author’s consent, it not only infringes on the author’s rights, but may also lead to improper use of research results.

How to balance the development of technology and the protection of researchers' rights is an urgent problem to be solved in the field of machine translation. This requires the joint efforts of the government, enterprises and academia to formulate reasonable policies and regulations to promote the healthy development of machine translation technology.

At the same time, we should also realize that the progress of science and technology is an unstoppable trend. As an important technology, machine translation has great potential for future development. We need to treat it with an open mind and actively explore ways to solve existing problems so that machine translation can better serve human society.
