thank you for sharing this video, very interesting!! love your humor

By using AI we can make it easier to learn languages

Very insightful. Thanks for this! Greetings from Finland🇫🇮

Anthony.. the quality of this video is Potato

Thank you Dr Pym and Hao. Looking forward to using these techniques in my language learning.

15:01 I have to point out this is mainly due to two factors: First, the language differences between English and Spanish/Chinese. Second, the data that LLM is trained. Spanish is very similar to English in many ways, while Chinese, is Chinese - you know what I mean. LLM, in this case ChatGPT and all its western counterparts, are trained based on mainly the English language. Comparatively, these LLMs are not better trained in languages like Chinese than the Indo-European language family combined. That explains why GPT 4o is doing well in Spanish but fail the expectations of Chinese users. If, alternatively, a China trained LLM is employed, Chinese students might be surprised to see better results, even tho their expectations are still high. That being said, Calude is an exception. It's doing extremely well in dealing with/producing Chinese texts, far better than GPT.

Thank you so much for sharing your insights with us. You’ve been such an inspiration for my academic path that I cannot thank you enough. Kind regards, Laura 🇵🇹

Is there something wrong with my brain or my ears? I don't understand a word of this.

Dear sir, Thank you so much for your insights, especially for uploading them. Keep being an inspiration and making students like me able to learn in new ways. No doubt you positively influenced my academic path as a translation master's student. Kind regards.

Thank you for the content. Could you recommend any studies/authors done around the actual teaching within a T&I programme or other translator training programmes?

Could you tell me the difference between strategy, method, procedure and technique?

I love the ideas of pitching role play. It helps students to experience of real life.

It's a great lecture, sharing a lot of practical experience for new lecturers. Next month, I am back with Translation (English-Vietnamese) after 10 year leaving teaching job for translation job at a newspaper.

Captions are not accurate!

Thank you for your content! I appreciate your work very much.

You are blessed with an amazing sense of humour Mr. Pym.

I love how you went after polish dubbing, we actually get a bad rap for it from most of central-eastern europe but I've grown to like it P.s. most of eastern europe (including smaller countries like Slovakia) switched to dubbing in the aughts at the latest, VO is now very much a Polish quirk

The english captions are in spanish.

This is, somehow, still relevant for Translation Studies. Thank you for this!

Sir extremely grateful to you for bringing this course to students who couldn't find right place to start learning translation . 😇

The SDL presentation is interesting, but I'd rather hear from Professor Pym.

Thank you for your clear explanation about the relationship between age-grading and language. There is a small detail that I couldn't hear correctly because English isn't my first language. It was the title of some articles you mentioned around 4:15 to 4:22. Could you help me write it down, please?

Hi Anthony - I was wondering if you could give me some advice on my dissertation? I am a final year student studying at the University of Glasgow (MA Spanish) and I am writing a translation dissertation. I previously did the translation module (hence why I came across your channel and decided to pursue translation) but unfortunately, I have had to take 3 years away from my studies due to being incredibly unwell with Anorexia. As a result, I am veryyyy rusty but that being said, I have chosen a news article from El País about a mother sharing her daughters story after being hospitalised in Madrid for an Eatig Disorder. I have translated the text and I was looking for some advice on writing the commentary, or more or less which theories could be of most use to me. Thank you so much!! Hayley

Merci pour cet échange intéressant !

Muy buen video.

You are amazing! I'm a fresh University graduate starting my teaching career at a University level and I love learning from your videos

Bonjour Anthony Pym ❤❤❤

Very helpful

Thinks for this series but it would be better to write what do you say in the videos for who don't speak English language

Thanks for uploading these videos. They're really informative and also fun to watch ;)

It’s tempting to buy quantum AI stocks but as someone who’s trying to practice positive investing I’m not sure this suits my portfolio or the future of humanity. It’s a very important issue and we need to talk about it more. Thank you for addressing these important aspects.

The topic is developed further in this paper: usuaris.tinet.cat/apym/on-line/research_methods/2014_history_interpreting.pdf

Thank you for share these. How about the problem on translating technical terms to local language?

Is natural equivalence a separate theory?

I love your thoughts, really I just love it, thank you

So clear..thank you

@AnthonyPym A cool experiment you can do with ChatGPT that perhaps illustrates what it does with language: 1. Upload a simple image, one color on the left side and a different color on the right side. 2. Ask it to change the color on the left side, for example, to red, by generating an image. 3. Tell it to do not make any other changes. What it will generate will surprise you. And it's not that it does not recognize the colors (I have asked it and it correctly named them), it seems to interprete and understand the request, but the generative part sort of takes different pieces and puts them together. That may well be what it does with language (lumping different sources and words together in a seemingly coherent manner to accomplish what was asked, so that it can simulate human language, but just like the image experiment it's just weaving everything together)

is she still alive? ❤️

I'm planning to go for Ph.D on Translation Studies, Plz guide me.

Le debemos mucho a Martha Pulido en toda la región por la visión que tuvo y el compromiso que mantiene con la traducción.

Amazing talk. I've been struggling with a thesis on Translation Studies and Computational Linguistics. Would love to talk to her.

Awesome

I agree with the above dialogue initiated by TheExpert8204. The interpreters for Heads of States and Governments are in essence part of the diplomacy community. However, as a freelance interpreter in Mandarin <> English, I found it very embarrassing when people propose different forms of demands. Some need accurate delivery whilst others only need somebody as a temporary friend to talk to. The tech and finance industry can read most of the documents written in another language, mostly English, and they only focus on the engineering or investment analysis. Tourists never need interpreters, at least in China. Unless you are the Head of State or other senior officials, you will not see interpreters telling you about the Forbidden City on site. Instead the job is done by human narrators, or even machines. For the media groups, competition for speed makes it impossible for them to wait for human proofread for the whole article. They will select only a few paragraphs, machine translate it before writting directly in the mother tongue. In conclusion, market trend is different from scholars' perspective. As a market practitioner, I sincerely wish you borrow experience from the finance sector who have better understanding of how to analyse the past, present and future of any industries. Academia cannot represent every single individual.

Sir Anthony ! thanks a lot ! you are just as great as a Professor is supposed to be. Concrete, smooth, intelligent and interesting.

This makes things clearer. Thank you for the explanations and for sharing your knowledge!

thank you
