Using metaphorical or allegorical language as a test isn't that useful. Getting something appropriate is going to be much more up to chance.

- staticman2 3y ago>>>Using metaphorical or allegorical language as a test isn't that useful. Because nobody wants to translate literature with metaphorical language?
- dkjaudyeqooe 3y agoNot the point. Even human readers are going to be unsure about what is meant, that means automatic translators are always going to do even worse and mere chance becomes prevalent. If you look at how humans translate literature, the translator becomes a part of the work (in the new language) because translating it is an art, not a science. There is no 'correct' translation, only ones that deliver a human experience or interpretation of the original. So as I said, it's less useful as a test.

Getting something appropriate with GPT-4 is whole lot higher than chance which was kind of the point of all this. >Using metaphorical or allegorical language as a test isn't that useful. This is a big chunk of fiction which is most of the text that regularly gets translated. If you're not interested in translating fiction then great but "not a good test" is just silly.
