I was under the impression that AI was terrible for translating Asian languages (at least Chinese, Japanese and Korean) because it doesn't capture certain contextual nuances. Is it actually good now? Are there bilingual speakers who use it and vouch for it?
It’s extremely good. Chinese, Japanese, Korean. Had multiple instances of confusion because the counterparty thought I was actually a native speaker because we had only communicated over text. Both commercial and social contexts. Translation is now effectively solved.
Edit: I should add like all LLM usage, you need to prompt well. I also like to run the translation back through DeepL for a more traditional technology read on it and to identify any obvious issues.
