More About translation

Long ago, people spoke many languages. They needed help to talk. So, they found ways to change words. This made it easy to share stories.

Today, we use translation all the time. When we watch shows or read books, we see words from other places. It helps us learn and have fun!

In the future, we will have more ways to translate. Robots and apps will help us talk better. This will make the world feel smaller!
