(a) Knowledge Representation and its use in computer
Knowledge representation is a method used in artificial intelligence and computer science to structure and store information so that machines can process, understand, and use it. It involves symbols, logic, graphs, or data models that simulate human understanding. In computers, it helps with tasks like language translation, speech recognition, and decision-making. For example, representing a dictionary in a digital format enables a machine to interpret the meaning of words during translation processes.
(b) Need of Technical Terminology in Translation
Technical terminology is essential in translation to maintain accuracy, clarity, and consistency, especially in specialized fields like medicine, law, science, and engineering. Without the correct technical terms, translations can become vague or incorrect, leading to misunderstandings. Technical terminology ensures that the intended meaning is conveyed properly across languages. It also helps standardize communication in academic and professional fields where precision is crucial.
