The globalization process has started a number of decades ago. It has led to a considerable increase in governmental and business communication between various states, as well as to the development of tourism industry. The quickly developing process of globalization is emphasized by universal foreign language penetration and it has told positively upon different branches of our living. The English language is traditionally considered to be the international language. The English language is spoken with different level of proficiency by millions of people throughout the world. Almost every person in the world has a general idea of the English language. Meanwhile, other foreign languages are less popular. If people confront with the document or text created in an unknown language they're looking for a way to understand what it is saying. Translation process is a procedure of text interpretation from one language into another language. Traditionally it is considered that there is two major ways of translation: manual and automatic translation. Manual translation is the oldest sort of translation and it consists in just translation of the text phrase by phrase made by a person. At the same time automatic translation process is a product of the contemporary technological advance and it has become popular not too much time ago. Automatic translation may be done with the help of specialized PC programs, like Prompt, or it may also be accomplished online at the sites specialized in foreign languages translation. We have already automated numerous procedure. But nevertheless, in relation to automatic translation there are some minuses. Taking into account that there are a lot of unusually fixed expressions in any language, it is not possible to foresee all the future situations with translation. That's the reason why the software uses the most common meaning of this or that word, and this meaning is not always the best version for translation. Moreover, from time to time the program translates the fixed expression word by word, and as a result the sense of the phrase is changed. The most obvious benefit of the automatic translation process is promptness. But nevertheless, essential documents you'd better translate manually or consult special translation firms.
