Some automatic translation vocabulary
From a broader perspective, automatic translation tools are accessible online and can be used in many ways:
- directly, by copy-pasting buts of text in one language and obtaining the same text in another language;
- by submitting to the website files in some predefined formats: the whole file will be translated, preserving the structure and formatting of the file;
- through APIs (an application programming interface is some code programmers can use in their software to use the translation tools.
Voice synthesis techniques will take some text and a voice model to speak the text using that voice. Voice model can be standard or can also be trained to correspond to real people!
Text generation tools are used to generate new text through artificial intelligence: this new text can be based on existing text (for example, abstracts, simplifications, reformulations can be built) or based on conversational models, where the AI will be prompted on a topic.
All these techniques can be used separately or be combined to propose seamless multilingual conversations.
