This is a pretty huge milestone. However, I really want to see the next generation of MTL. From what I've seen, we're still a long way away from natural sounding translations.
Some pairs are also very bad right now, particularly Korean->English.
- karmasimida 6y agoYou can try this service (developed by a South Korean company), it is miles better than Google Translate IMO: https://papago.naver.com/ https://papago.naver.com/
- jimmydorry 6y agoThanks, i’ll have a look.
- whimsicalism 6y ago> From what I've seen, we're still a long way away from natural sounding translations. IMO, this is a dataset problem. I think we're finally seeing the "next generation" of dataset collection in AI so there will be hopefully improvements for pairs with sparser sets.
- jimmydorry 6y agoVery true. These kinds of problems centre around data set acquisition and validation.
- progfix 6y ago> we're still a long way away from natural sounding translations. DeepL makes perfect translations between English and German. Perfect in a sense that it looks like a professional translator translated it. Google, Microsoft, Facebook might be far off, but deepl isn't.
- nestorD 6y agoNot perfect between English and French but certainly great. The possibility to insert your corrections in the suggested translation and let the algorithm rewrite the following text make it a huge time saver when one needs to do a translation.
- bloak 6y ago"Natural-sounding" is much easier to achieve than "correct".
- jimmydorry 6y agoIs it though? You can construct English sentences that are hard to read, but grammatically correct.
