Communication - what does it mean and what can be done

Translation is an act of communication (link)

      Communication is a word we often use without really knowing what it implies at a basic level.
We as human beings are determined to use our natural language either verbally or written as literacy to get out what we want the world to know about our thinking and planning for the future. Language and thought are closely connected even not exactly the same. We all speak at least one language fluently, our so called mother tongue, which we learned since the day we were born. And, we will never loose this capacity until we die if we stay healthy and do not emigrate.

Many of us gain other language skills in the course their lives by studying in school or university, working in a foreign country or just by travelling. Some even grow up with two or more languages at the same time.

Bilinguism, for a long time, had been seen as a characteristic of being psychologically abnormal and bilinguals therefore stood for mental instability and less efficiency than monolinguals. 

As a result, people with a multilingual background (which goes mostly but not always necessarily hand in hand with a multi-ethnic background) had and still have a hard time in the conventional educational system. This often leads to the result, that they turn out to be more likely without a degree of higher education. 

Still, in a world that is more and more concerned with global issues we need those hybrids to reintegrate into social organizations to build bridges which are mainly to be considered communicational and cultural rather than plain political or technical. (The connection is the key)

To give a concrete example: As the market of translation is on the one hand side predominated by an exclusive group of individuals, which is hard to enter into; on the other hand side, machine translation becomes more and more advanced aiming to overcome the obstacles of human impact and restriction. Deep learning mechanisms imitate models from neuroscience trying to come close to what is called reverse engineering of the brain in its function of language processing in this case. 
The goal is to create an artificial mind that responds to natural language as if it would be thinking independently. Comprehending, responding, speaking and even writing by itself.

Anyways, may these mechanisms be as good as they can be in what they imitate, we still need people to render and edit texts and content of any kind!

Therefore, it would be much more efficient to focus on bringing as much of those new technologies together on a platform to create an actual working space "on air", rather than desperately trying to create a human mind. I am not saying here that this is impossible by any means. Still, I doesn't seem to happen in the near future. And even if it did, the general public should be asked up front if such machines are in common interest or not. Let's learn here from history!

What I propose, could work like a Socialmedia platform or as well like craigslist or any other information pool.  

The diference would be that it could integrate language skills from any kind of people without necessarily having an academic backround. 

By that, we would be using this capacity for a common good.
