AI Translation: Balancing Technology and Human Expertise
AI Translation: A quick overview AI translation is transforming the language industry by offering faster, more accessible solutions. However, it is important to understand how AI tools work in order to use them effectively. You’ve probably used Google Translate, DeepL, or ChatGPT to understand or translate a sentence, document, website. While these tools are convenient, they don’t always deliver accurate or reliable results, especially for more complex or professional content. In this blog post, we examine how AI translation works, its strengths and weaknesses, and why human translators continue to play a key role in ensuring quality, accuracy and cultural relevance. How AI translation works and why it matters AI translation tools use machine learning and neural networks to generate translations based on massive amounts of multilingual data. These systems recognize patterns in language and suggest likely translations based on context. Modern tools go beyond word-for-word translation. They analyze sentence structure and grammar to produce text that sounds more natural. However, AI doesn’t understand tone, culture or nuance, so it’s essential to use it carefully. For example, HSBC’s global slogan “Assume Nothing” was once automatically translated as “Do Nothing” in some markets, completely altering the intended message and forcing a costly rebranding campaign.Similarly, American Airlines promoted its luxury leather seats with the phrase “Fly in Leather,” which, when introduced in Spanish-speaking markets, was interpreted as “Fly Naked.” This caused confusion and forced the airline to withdraw the campaign, which is now considered a classic example of why professional translation and cultural awareness are important in global marketing. The strengths of AI translation in today’s industry AI translation offers clear... read more

What Does Accessibility Mean in the Field of Translation?
Discover what accessibility means in the field of translation You may have heard the word “accessibility” before, but without fully understanding what it means, particularly in the context of translation. If you are curious and want to gain a better understanding of this concept, read on! What accessibility means: a brief definition To fully understand what we mean by “accessibility” it is important to distinguish between the word and the concept. According to the Cambridge Dictionary online, accessibility simply means “the quality of being easy to understand or enjoy”. However, as a concept, accessibility is defined as “the quality of being able to be entered or used by everyone, including people who have a disability”. The key word here is “disability”. Making a place, product or piece of information accessible means that everyone can access it, regardless of any disabilities they may have. Concrete examples If, after reading this first definition, you still don’t fully understand the concept of accessibility, don’t worry! Here are some examples of existing accessibility services: Audio description for the blind and visually impaired. A voice describes everything happening on the screen, enabling people to enjoy the action. This service also exists in certain museums to describe works of art. Subtitles for the Deaf and hard of hearing and/or closed captions. All sounds and dialogues are transcribed into subtitles. This service is also available in theatres and for some live events on television, where it is called live subtitling, ensuring real-time accessibility. Sign Language to help deaf people communicate in their everyday lives. It is also used for events on television, such as the news or short political addresses. Easy Languages for... read more
