Strengths and limits of ChatGPT's translation



Strengths and limits of ChatGPT's translation

Will you continue to use ChatGPT as your primary provider for translation and localization? This program has garnered a lot of interest for its translation capabilities among the several well-known machine translation solutions available on the market, such as DeepL, Microsoft Translate, and Google Translate.

But how accurate are the translations provided by ChatGPT?

How accurate is ChatGPT's translation?

Microsoft, Intento, and Tencent compared the translation output of GPT models with that of machine translation engines in an effort to assess ChatGPT's translation quality and assess its competitiveness. It turns out that the translation quality of GPT-3 can occasionally be good. Their findings showed that only a small number of languages, including English, German, Spanish, and Italian, can be translated effectively and consistently using GPT.

Even for those languages, GPT was unable to create translations of a caliber comparable to that of well-known machine translation software. Additionally, Intento discovered that ChatGPT performed noticeably worse in comparison

Can ChatGPT be used in place of human translators?

These types of inquiries always bring up the age-old argument of whether or not we ought to adopt AI translation in place of human translators. And the same response is given each time: "Well, it depends."

Machine translation might be appropriate for straightforward text translation. Even in these situations, you cannot rely completely on AI. You will always need a skilled translator/proofreader to assess the quality and correctness of the translation and fix any potential faults before publication because the chance of error is still present. To attain the necessary translation quality, for instance, while utilizing ChatGPT, a translator would need to compare the translations produced and then improve the output.

There are also situations in which machine translation should be avoided. Even a small error or mistranslation when dealing with complicated materials, such those used in the legal or medical fields, could have serious ramifications. Medical and legal writings require the skill and experience of human translators who have received training in the particular vocabulary, technical jargon, and complex concepts used in these fields.

And lastly, ChatGPT is inappropriate for businesses that deal with sensitive data. Sensitive data or content may be exposed or accessed by unauthorized persons because the data processed by AI models may move across various servers and systems. As a result, these businesses should use AI technology with extreme caution.

Technologies and human excellence

In conclusion, it would be stupid to place a wager on ChatGPT's translations. You should err on the side of caution because it only takes one incorrect translation to damage your business.

However, there is no disputing the benefits of OpenAI and machine translation. AI tools may make it much easier for translators to do their jobs, allowing companies to publish more content and expand their worldwide reach quickly. The key phrase in this sentence is "human intervention". The best results can only be achieved by combining the advantages of technology with human expertise.

  A group of monolingual individuals attempted to construct a tower tall enough to reach the sky as a test of God in the book of Genesis. Even adherents of other religions are aware of the narrative that caused it to disperse. In order to stop them from finishing the tower, God has divided humanity among various language tribes and "confused human speech" with a number of languages. Then, what language would the "pope" use? On March 13, 2013, Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected Pope Francis, becoming the 266th pope in the annals of the Roman Catholic Church. Pope Francis is well known for his humility throughout the world. He actively engages in political diplomacy and supports the underprivileged and marginalized people around the world. As is well known, Pope Francis is well-versed in both linguistic and sociocultural matters. Pope Francis is not only the first pope from the Americas (Argentina) in Christian history, but he also holds dual citizenship and is t
