Why is it you are interested in machine translation?

"Because language plays such a fundamental part in connecting each of us as thinking creatures with the world around us, the subtle nuances of language (which are different even in similar tongues, say the Latin-derived Spanish and Portuguese) actually shape how we think about the world. Learning something of how somebody else speaks from a foreign country actually helps you to understand their mindset a little."

 I am interested in Machine Translation primarily for two reasons; Firstly, I believe that in this generation of information exchange, one of the biggest challenges is sharing and understanding knowledge in different languages. This is where machine translation comes into picture and interests me for it works for a unified purpose. Secondly, I have deep-rooted interests coupled with experience in the field of Natural Language processing. And I hope to make a difference in the field of machine translation.
