Message: [QUOTE="skagskagskag, post: 110913, member: 113843"] putting aside AI being as costly as it is for the environment, from my understanding a lot of language model AI create their output as an aggregate of their training data. I feel like this fact inherently blocks it off from creating a proper translation of anything. Sure, you can get so far, like I don't get too bothered machine translating map directions if I need to get around. But as video games are written art pieces, like a book being translated there needs to be creative interpretation on the part of the translator. There are many statements out there that could be written in one single precise way, but have many interpretations depending on the context. There could be many contexts throughout a text that effect a statement's meaning. Another thought I'd be concerned with is favoritism among languages. Sure, japanese/english/chinese/french/etc may have decent enough models for translation (ignoring why i said i dont think theyd be ideal). But relying on AI for the translation of lesser and lesser popular languages will have diminishing returns based on the people working on the models and their specific biases. It's kinda like how a lot of image models have had issues with primarily presenting the users with white people when given prompts describing a person or subject neutrally in respect to race.
