AI translation

Automated language conversion

AI translation is the use of artificial intelligence to convert text or speech from one language to another.

Unlike older machine translation that worked word by word, AI translation attempts to capture context and nuance: The AI translation handled the idioms surprisingly well.

Quality varies—AI translation works well for straightforward content but still struggles with literary texts, humor, and cultural references.

Also called machine translation or neural machine translation.
