Message: [QUOTE="Another Iori, post: 15669, member: 20780"] [B]The machine translation[/B] is the future, while the work for human translators is destined to vanish or to shrink with very few job opportunities available. At this point in our history, it would be completely naïve to think otherwise. 14 years ago [B]Google Translate[/B] was truly garbage when it came to translating Japanese, in fact, if the original text came from a normal person, Google’s translation seemed like it came from an individual with cognitive issues, since the translated speech made no understandable sense. However, this service has greatly improved over the years, although the path is still long for them to walk, because even if the input text is perfect, the final result is highly debatable (ranging from gravely insufficient to almost acceptable and over the years, various [B]parodies[/B] have been created based on these particular conditions). [B]DeepL[/B] has an edge over Google Translate, but it is only seemingly free, as there is a character limit for translations each day and this also applies to the API for integrating into other programs, furthermore, one of DeepL's issues is that the product text is not always perfect (sometimes conjunctions, adverbs, and compliments are evaporated for no apparent reason), and it seems not to fully understand certain nuances that aren't objective (it also does not have a complete list of all existing languages like Google is trying to do). [B]GPT[/B] is currently the best available product and it even has a free version: I was really impressed with its translations from Japanese, because with just a little tweaking, they could be used in professional contexts, moreover, it is sometimes perfectly capable of understanding the meaning of things, even if the transcription has spelling errors, because it is able to correct things on its own in the final product and understand the original reference. My only complaints are that this OpenAI creation seems not to understand that it should not replace the original writer, when the latter makes certain stylistic choices. In other words, if the original writer chooses to use metaphors or strong words, GPT tries to homogenize everything to make it understandable and sanitized to as many people as possible, therefore I have to correct it every time and ask it to go back to work. It then behaved like a bastard when I asked it to translate some subtitles I made, because it lied to me by shortening the overall translation and shamelessly manipulating the ending. I later spoke with it and GPT told me that it has restrictions regarding copyright, but apparently [B]Elon Musk[/B] has noticed the problem and has already started funding a variant, so, if this product ever comes out and if it is supported by the public, OpenAI will have to decide whether to catch up or fall behind.
