We’re already using ChatGPT at work to do machine translation because it takes weeks to get back translations for the 10 languages our application supports.
It’s not a work of literature, it’s quite technical language and feedback we’ve had from customers is that it’s quite good. Before this, we wouldn’t have ever supported a language like Czech because the market isn’t big enough to justify the cost of translation, and Google Translate couldn’t handle large passages of text in the docs well enough.

- physicsguy 3y agoMost users in this market segment get the software in English, German or Chinese and nothing else because the cost doesn't justify doing it elsewhere.
