A computer uses special helpers called translators. Imagine you're playing a game with friends, and each friend speaks a different language, the translator helps everyone understand what's being said. In real life, a translator (or program) changes one language into another so the computer knows how to respond.
Examples
- Your phone changes your message from English to Spanish before sending it.
- A dictionary helps a computer find the right word in another language.
- You write "hello" and see "hola" on the screen.
