I just published OBJECTIVE 2024 In our modern globalized world, multilingualism has to become the norm for everyone, not only for an elite, both educated elite and migrating "anti-elite." Teaching foreign languages and translating machines are crucial. But such translating machines have problems. Can they be held accountable for the incidents or accidents that may occur because of their unfaithfulness or even inaccuracy? If machines cannot be taken to court, who can? The owner of the machine, the worker on the machine, or the inventor and designer of the machine? Can the Artificial Intelligence in the machine be considered criminal if at least one person dies in an accident caused by a translation of this AI that is not clear, or is even defective? And what about cultural misunderstanding, if not mistranslating? Can a cultural group consider they have been betrayed by a translator and his or her translation? Can the concerned people go to court to request some reparations? And once again who is accountable, considering the machine cannot be? If we widen the scope of such translating machines to literary or poetic documents, then these machines are highly incompetent because they have no poetic or fictional intelligence,; and what's more, like all translations  , they cannot cope with highly creative uses of language because they are no poets and no fiction writers.

Translation will become crucial in our globalized world, which means it will have to be taught along with foreign languages, and machines will have to be devised to enable daily, constant, and both feasible and trustworthy translating. How can this be done?
