AI translations are not bad, and are increasingly getting better, but as professional translators, we can often see many issues with them that others may not easily see. One reason for this is because, over years of practice and training, we have developed a broad knowledge of the languages we work with—often beyond linguistic knowledge into realms of the cultural and sociological. This expertise, which is often tacit, can be used explicitly to help AI create better translations. In this webinar, we are going to explore ways in which we can ‘translate’ our own knowledge of language and translation into prompts that can help AI to be a better translator. This is not about learning how to make AI replace us. Nor is it about how we can use AI to quickly translate large amounts of text so that we can make lots of money. It’s about thinking what we, as humans, can bring to the human–AI partnership to humanise AI-made translations and ensure our relevancy (at least in the short term) as a continuing profession.
Key Takeaways:
- 'Translating’ knowledge into prompts: After attending this webinar, you will hopefully have a sense of how you can turn your insights about the languages you work with into prompts that can be used to help AI translate better.
- Exploring project-level prompting: You will also learn about mini “system prompts” that can be used to guide AI throughout a translation task.
- Reimagine your relationship with AI: There may be some things I say that make you re-consider how you interact with AI. Whether or not that is good or bad, that’s hard to say—but at the very least, our relationship with AI is worth thinking about.
