AI Translation Isn’t Perfect. Here’s How to Make It Better.

By: Ana Moirano

As businesses increasingly rely on artificial intelligence to bridge language gaps and reach global audiences, it’s crucial to navigate this landscape with awareness and precision.

3 Ways to Make AI Translations Clearer and Better

  1. Diversify training data to include more languages.
  2. Have human translators review and refine AI translations.
  3. Hire cultural consultants to check cultural nuances in translations.

AI translations from one language to another are certainly convenient because they reduce the need for a human translator fluent in both languages. Yet AI translation has its pitfalls, too, and failures can cause significant legal, reputational and trust issues. A catchy English slogan might become nonsensical or offensive in another language. A mistranslated phrase in a legal context has led to a false arrest. Mistranslations can even introduce gender bias.

This article will explore what can go wrong with AI translations and discuss ways to enhance accuracy and cultural relevance.
