AI vs. Human Translation

Introduction

TranslateCI gives you the option to translate your app using either AI translation or human translation. This page will help you decide which option is best for you.

AI Translation

AI translation is a great option if you're looking for a quick and easy way to translate your app. It's also a great option if you're on a tight budget, or if you're just getting started with localization.

AI translation uses OpenAI's GPT-3 (the same thing that powers ChatGPT) to translate your app. It's a very powerful tool, and can translate your app into over 100 languages. It's also very fast -- it can translate your app in a matter of minutes.

It's important to note that AI translation is not perfect. The primary limitation is one of context. AI won't be able to understand the context of your app, so it will often translate phrases literally. That said, it still tends to be very accurate -- and much better than machine translations from other services.

Human Translation

Human translations, on the other hand, are more accurate. They're also much more expensive. Human translators are able to understand the context of your app, and will translate your app in a way that makes sense to your users.

Evaluate your app and decide if you need human translations. If you're just getting started, AI translation is a great option. If you're looking for the most accurate translation possible, human translation is the way to go.
