Oh man is translation not possible with AI. You have no idea how little languages have in common. A lot of terms don't mean a thing, but combine concepts you don't have or associate to point at a thing.

My dad said, about learning a new language, ''cat means cat, not gato, don't translate'' and I think that holds up pretty well from my experience.

You can't be serious, buddy. I'm translating an entire episode with ai and it's turning out better than the Netflix translation!

I worked for a huge software company who spent boatloads of money trying to to get AI to do translation, interpretation or localization and I can confirm with the absolute authority of someone who watched that dumpster fire first hand that AI will NOT be taking those tasks for a while.

If you're not knowledgeable about the topic you should comment about it.

If you’re not knowledgeable about the topic you should comment about it.

Has this also been translated by an AI, or am I missing the point?

[–] Frosty_Pieces@lemmy.world -3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You're missing the point. You're so woefully uneducated on the topic you don't understand how Google translate was around for ages and didn't replace interpretation, translation or localization. Why do you think that is? Maybe you should do some research there.

So, no one mentioned Google Translate. Are you guys seriously relying on Google Translate? Plus, your grammar is, uh, perfect.

Your company must be very unsuccessful in this business.

I guarantee it outperforms whatever menial labor job you do.
