To improve efficiency. In certain situations, machine translation can help improve efficiency by allowing people to communicate and work more quickly. For example, if you are working with a team of people who speak different languages, machine translation can help speed up the process of communicating ideas and collaborating.

If you have a website or other online content that you want to make available to a wider audience, using machine translation can help you reach people who speak different languages. This can be especially useful if you are trying to reach a global audience or if you want to share your content with people who may not speak the same language as you.
