I wish I could read the rest of the memoir, alas I do not speak Japanese. I'm unable to determine if the rest of it was published somewhere.

- lmm 3y agoI mean, it's published, 跳べない蛙, you can buy it on Amazon or wherever. But in Japanese.
- BarryMilo 3y agoCan ChatGPT translate a whole book now? Without too much inconvenience
- squidsoup 3y agoSceptical that an LLM would produce good literary translations - that requires a nuanced understanding of the author's rhythm and style. Maybe if the model was trained only with writing from that one particular author.
- 99094 3y agoI used it to read some webnovels a few months ago. It's much better than other machine translators (like google or deepl) but it's a bit tedious to use because of the character limit.
- jillesvangurp 3y agoDeepl might do a decent job and it supports pdfs and other document formats. We use it a lot for translating business documents and contracts. Mainly between German and English. But they support Japanese too.
- radicaldreamer 3y agoWonder if someone will pick this up and publish it in English.
- gwervc 3y agoNegociating with a Japanese publishing house is probably 3 times the effort of translating the text itself. I'm interested in the book myself and I can read some Japanese (and know people more proficient than me who could translate it), but that's a no go because of intellectual property.
