Speaker 1: Important Uses of AI in Translation Due to globalization, the need for translation has quickly increased. For example, business areas. Company employees need translation to sign international contracts. Academic areas. Students who study abroad need translation to understand difficult articles. Entertainment area. Audiences need translations to enjoy foreign books, video games, and films. Before AI came into use, translation was a job that was time-consuming, well-paid, and required a higher level of education. Thanks to AI, translation software makes translating a common service that is instant, free, and convenient. What is Machine Translation? Machine translation uses AI-powered software to automatically translate the language in the source material to another language, without any interventions from human agents. There are three types of machine translation that we will be going over. Rules-based machine translation, which means the translating deliverables were direct word-for-word translations based on a set of relevant language dictionaries and grammatical rules. Neural machine translation analyzes the existing translations made by human translators and then proceeds with prediction algorithms to generate context-related translations. Neural machine translation, a neural network, which empowers the software with self-learning ability. Therefore, the outcomes of NMT software are more logically in line with human language. Moving on to the three best translation softwares. Translation software has become increasingly popular in today's society since it is easy to use, quick to get output, acceptable for various kinds of materials, and cost-sufficient. Google Translate is one of today's most well-known translation softwares. It has many different versions that suit different devices. Powered by NMT, the software is able to provide high-quality translations and accept all kinds of materials, such as text, audio, pictures, or instant camera visions. So far, Google Translation can support 133 languages. Smartling is another highly welcomed translation software that is heavily used in business. Powered by AI, the software provides services not only limited to simple text translation but focuses on content translation across devices and platforms. TypeL Translator. The software promises to provide high-quality translations by accurately understanding the subtle meaning of words and sentences and then translating them into target languages in an unprecedented way. Why AI Translators Cannot Replace Human Agents With AI-powered software heavily used in translation, many people, especially the employees who work or plan to seek a job as translators-interpreters, start to worry about their future. Will AI take over their jobs? Will they be replaced by technology? Well, the answer is no. The current intelligence of AI and its translation ability cannot completely handle translation work without human intervention. Currently, the accuracy of machine translation is not at all an ideal level. The outcomes offered by the translation software often have many grammar mistakes and sometimes even do not make sense. In fact, the automatic translation version should not be used on any official occasion.
