What changed

Rapid advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) and other automated translation technologies are significantly impacting the professional translation sector. A study conducted with 19 professional translators reveals cautious adoption of these tools, with prevalent concerns regarding the potential displacement of human translation work by machine translation (MT) and LLMs.

Why it matters

The emergence of advanced AI-driven translation technologies presents both opportunities for efficiency gains and significant challenges to established professional practices. Understanding the perspectives of human practitioners is crucial for developing sustainable strategies that integrate technology while preserving human expertise and quality in specialized domains.

What to watch

Large Language Models and similar automated methods are rapidly developing, influencing the landscape of translation technologies.
