Language technology

Note that these elementary aspects are normally not considered to be within the scope of related terms such as natural language processing and (applied) computational linguistics, which are otherwise near-synonyms. As an example, 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.

Other tools are also part of modern language technology and include machine translation, speech recognition, text processing and natural language processing.

Large-scale AI models have recently advanced the field and enhanced the ability of machines to interpret complex human context.
