A Professional Workflow for Translation Using LLMs
Tom Gally, a professional translator, outlines his workflow using LLMs for translation since GPT-4's release. He begins with a detailed prompt that includes contextual instructions and guidelines for translating a Japanese product launch presentation into English. Gally utilizes multiple LLMs to draft sentences, brainstorm translations for difficult phrases, and check the final translation against the original. He also employs text-to-speech technology to catch any awkward phrasing. This showcases LLMs as enhancing tools in professional translation.
