Imagine a computer like a super-smart kid who can learn new languages by using special codes. When someone writes something in a language the computer knows, it turns those words into numbers that it understands, just like how you might turn letters into shapes or sounds. This helps it read and write in different languages.
Examples
- A computer sees 'cat' as numbers that mean the same thing in both English and French.
- When you write 'bonjour' in French, it turns into a string of numbers that the computer knows how to read.
- Your phone translates messages from Spanish to English by turning one set of numbers into another.
