My Conversations with ChatGPT
Machine Translation (MT) and translations generated by AI have brought about a paradigm shift in the translation industry. The output of MT will continue to improve, especially when associated with clients’ translation memories and human editing. Language Service Providers are adapting and are including MT in their processes, when MT is applicable. While linguists will continue to be essential in the process, their role will shift from that of translators to validators of content generated by MT. At Excel Translations, we wanted to know what AI thinks about all of this and decided to have an open conversation on the matter with ChatGPT. I will regularly publish a question and ChatGPT’s response, uncensored.
QUESTION 43:
How can machine translation be effectively integrated into the transcreation process to balance efficiency and creative adaptation?
Chat GPT’s Response:
Integrating machine translation into the transcreation process involves using it to generate initial drafts, which are then refined and creatively adapted by human transcreators. Balancing efficiency and creative adaptation requires a collaborative approach, where the technology expedites the workflow while transcreators infuse their expertise, cultural understanding, and artistic touch to ensure the final output resonates with the intended audience. Customization, iterative refinement, and human-guided quality control help strike the right balance, preserving brand voice, emotional impact, and cultural nuances while optimizing efficiency in the transcreation process.
