How to promote DX and improve business efficiency related to translation with ChatGPT? Introducing useful tools.

1. How to Advance the DX of Translation

To promote the digital transformation (DX) of translation and improve the efficiency of translation operations, the introduction of automated translation tools is essential. Specifically, it is worth considering the use of translation tools such as Google Translate, ChatGPT, and DeepL.

These translation services can also be integrated via API, allowing for automation of translation tasks by connecting to internal business systems, business chat applications, websites, and more, significantly improving efficiency compared to manual translation work.

For example, by incorporating translation features into business chat applications, communication between team members who speak different languages becomes smoother, facilitating the progress of international projects. Additionally, by adding translation features to websites, visitors can view content in their native language, which is expected to increase access for foreign language speakers.

Implementing automated translation tools and API integration to advance the digital transformation of translation operations is a crucial step in enhancing a company's international competitiveness. It not only reduces time and costs but also lays the foundation for expanding business globally.

Additionally, the translation feature of ChatGPT is introduced in the blog article "How to Use ChatGPT for Translation? Introducing Usage and Applications".

2. How accurate is the translation by ChatGPT?

The translations provided by ChatGPT are often more literal compared to DeepL, but it still offers a very high level of translation accuracy as a general chatbot service. DeepL is a service specialized in translation, which excels at producing natural expressions and context-appropriate translations. On the other hand, ChatGPT rarely misses translations and provides consistent quality.

A major feature of translating with ChatGPT is the ability to customize the terminology and style of the translation according to the field, purpose, and target audience. This allows users to provide more detailed instructions to achieve even more accurate translations. For example, when translating business documents, emphasis can be placed on technical terms and formal expressions, while for casual blog articles, a friendly tone and approachable language can be adopted.

You can also use ChatGPT to detect mistranslations and omissions. Additionally, it can perform a wide range of tasks such as proofreading translations, summarizing, and even creating glossaries. This further enhances the efficiency of translation work.

3. Key Points for Improving Translation Efficiency with ChatGPT

To improve the efficiency of translation tasks using ChatGPT, it is essential to master the instructions (prompts) first. By creating appropriate prompts, the quality of translations can be significantly enhanced. Specifically, by including the context, technical terms, and style of the text to be translated in the prompts, ChatGPT can provide more accurate and refined translations. Depending on the creativity of the prompts, it is possible to achieve more efficient and satisfying translation results.

It is also recommended to utilize features other than translation. For example, you may instruct for proofreading, pointing out mistranslations, or transcribing in English. These features are often not supported by standard machine translation services and are unique to ChatGPT. Even when using translation-specific services like DeepL or Google, you can improve translation quality by performing mistranslation checks with ChatGPT.

Additionally, by combining ChatGPT with CAT tools (computer-assisted translation tools), you can improve translation efficiency. CAT tools automate the translation process and provide features to enhance consistency and speed, but by using AI tools like ChatGPT in conjunction, you can further improve quality and efficiency. For more details about CAT tools, please see the blog article below.
