  You can’t replace a translator with AI. It has to be AI + a human to fix the crappy AI output. Guess what ends up being cheaper? I didn’t change careers, and they’re hiring translators again. Bubble is bursting.

  Let me guess: they’ll release the game with broken translations, on the same level as “all your bases are belong to us”*, players will shit on those translations, and then they’ll either give up translating their other games altogether, or they’ll re-hire a human translator. The end.

  *or more like the inverse. Large models tend to behave like a human translator who isn’t proficient in the source language; AYBABTU was likely the result of someone proficient in the source, but not in the target.

  If your only skillset is being a translator, you shouldve been looking to switch careers a decade ago. AI or no AI, technology was bound to replace this role eventually. Im surprised it took this long.

    I swear, the sheer amount of dumb shit I read in Lemmy makes me think this place is a true Reddit replacement. Even in its worst aspects.

    Have you ever tried to translate anything more complex than a single paragraph? No, you didn’t, otherwise you wouldn’t be assuming “tech iz replacin translturz lmao”. Do it. By machine and then by hand. Then compare both things; even a complete amateur can pull out something way better than any machine translator does, provided the amateur in question is proficient in both source and target languages.

      Nah, AI is fucking sentient bro. Any day now it’ll magically start understanding context, tone and sarcasm etc

      ^/s^

    AI translator can’t even handle two-line memes half the time. Because you need deep understanding of the culture and the context even for simplest jokes to be translated appropriately - if it’s even possible to convey it close enough in another language.

    If your only skillset was being a translator (or, in fact, any skill), you wouldn’t have posted a take this uninformed.
