AI tool for book translation
Can someone recommend the best AI translation tool for me given the following factors:
- cost is not an issue
- the tool should remember style guidelines and terminological decisions and apply them consistently
- the tool should translate larger sections requiring a prompt for every paragraph
- I need to translate books from source languages which I do not understand (e.g. Latvian), so I cannot check the accuracy
- it should translate idiomatically and localize as instructed
I am currently using ChatGPT Plus (paid subscription) and the workflow as well as the results are catastrophic. I have to upload the books page by page, into the chat (it doesn't handle documents as well as chat messages), which takes ages for 400-page books, and the software doesn't apply any of the instructions I provide, except in the first page or two translated after they have been submitted. It cannot even remember a basic orthographic rule (it omits diacritics in the target language). Repeated admonishments do not achieve anything. It also does not translate naturally at all - the output screams AI. Would switching to another tool, e.g. DeepL, help, or is this simply the limit of current technology?
