S4E3 AI Translation - Dos and Don'ts with Markus Seebauer
Description
As AI tools make their mark on every business function, there is an equal proportion of excitement and fear. In the midst of this chaos, it is imperative we take a step back and consider pointers from our translation expert on what AI can and cannot offer. AI may not be the magic pill after all, at least, for the translation industry. Let's dive in.
Some questions we dug into:
- What are some exotic languages you have translated into?
- Is the translation process the same for an exotic language versus a European language?
- What's the future of AI-assisted translation?
- When should one consider machine translation versus AI translation?
- What are the limitations of AI translation to consider?
