Language technology
Language technology, often called human language technology (HLT), studies methods of how computer programs or electronic devices can analyze, produce, modify or respond to human texts and speech.[1] It consists of natural language processing (NLP) and computational linguistics (CL) on the one hand, and speech technology on the other. It also includes many application oriented aspects of these. Working with language technology often requires broad knowledge not only about linguistics but also about computer science.Technology is the way of gaining knowledge taht deeals with the creation./ Language is a system of communication used in various ways. Dr Valiur Rahaman has asserted “If technology saves language, languages, it is technology”
English language is now expanding all over the globe with technology , moreover it is now becoming the leading edge of the development in various fields like science and technology , management and also in various other fields. is not merely an ability but a skill that is required to be successful in life. in the introduction to introducing digital humanities , Valiur Rahaman asserts the need for intersection of language and literary studies with technological or digital tools . It is he who developed the concept of humanities inspired technology for society according to which he proposes and established the theory that humanities casn help technology to serve human society at minimum risk factors. (Valiur Rahaman 2016; PP I-Ix)
The Globalization and Localization Association (GALA), maintains a directory of language technology and software for translators and localizers.[2]
For many of the world's lesser known languages, the foundation of language technology is providing communities with fonts and keyboard setups so their languages can be written on computers or mobile devices.[3]
