- PaulHoule 1y agoMany chatbots are good at this, including Microsoft Copilot and they can answer questions about languages too if you want to understand the structure, such as "which characters mean 'new-type' in 国家新型都市化計画?" Personally I'm interested in Japanese and Chinese culture and I frequently find Japanese speakers engage with my photos on Bluesky so I frequently use it to read responses and write replies where: (1) I can specify tone and context, and then (2) I use a different chatbot to translate my reply back to English to check that it translates properly.
- gethly 1y agoI thought about that but I guess i defaulted to service dedicated to translating that i am used to. If the ML is so good with these, I wonder why google translate(or microsoft and others) have not implemented them into their existing services...
- solardev 1y agoI think Google Translate has implemented some similar ML too, but you can't really prompt it and specify context the way you can with a chatbot. I'll usually translate it with chatgpt and then run the result backward through Google Translate in order to double check. It's been excellent every time.
