Abstract

Today the world is experiencing advanced technology on a full scale. Man is thus compelled to make use of this technology to develop machine translation as one of the means of transferring the cultural and scientific achievements of the various fields and disciplines from other languages to Arabic and vice versa. It is quite mandatory to pave the way for an efficient ground of cooperation among Arab researches, who should aim at obtaining advanced technology in the field of translation, especially during this booming period. Likewise, conveying world-wide scientific achievements in Arabic plays an essential role in establishing the slight but still ongoing endeavors that aim at the Arabization of various scientific terminologies. The present article attempts to elucidate the concept of machine translation, its objectives, its categories and types, its value in the current age, its position among other modern sciences and fields of research, and the attempts made by the authorities in the field, who look up to the growth and development of machine translation, all with an emphasis on Arabic.
