Abstract

The relationship between language and technology is both close and complex. The development of language culture provides an important foundation for technological progress. Historical experience shows that countries with mature language and cultural systems often achieve more remarkable achievements in basic disciplines. Nowadays, language translation technology is rapidly integrating into various fields of society, bringing profound changes to language service models. Meanwhile, it greatly facilitates cross-cultural communication and international cooperation. The joint development of language, society, and technology presents a two-way interactive feature. On the one hand, the advancement of translation technology reflects how technology supports language use. On the other hand, this progress also responds to the urgent need for efficient communication in the process of globalization. In the future, how to strike a balance between technological innovation and humanistic care will become a key issue in promoting the sustainable development of translation technology. This study is based on the language technology usage data of users from different social backgrounds. It deeply analyzes the current application status of language technology. This provides an empirical basis for understanding the development trend of language technology. It also offers theoretical support and practical reference for promoting language service innovation, enhancing social application capabilities, and promoting scientific and technological development.
