Machine translation is use of computational techniques to translate text or speech from one language to another, including the contextual, idiomatic and pragmatic nuances of both languages.

Early approaches were mostly rule-based or statistical. These methods have since been superseded by neural machine translation^[1] and large language models.^[2]
