OTTIAQ's position on artificial intelligence in translation

Translators' order cautions public about risks of using artificial intelligence for translation 

With the use of AI in translation exploding, Quebec's professional order for translators, terminologists and interpreters is sounding the alarm. Although the technology has great potential, it also poses great risks. 

MONTRÉAL, Oct. 16, 2024 /CNW/ - Faced with the rapid rise of AI-based tools and their growing use by the general public, particularly for translation, the Ordre des traducteurs, terminologues et interprètes agréés du Québec (OTTIAQ) is alerting the public about the risks of failing to work with a qualified professional when using these tools. 

Despite the innovative opportunities created by automated translation tools and chatbots such as ChatGPT, these technologies have their limitations. As OTTIAQ points out, errors in meaning are frequent—particularly in complex or specialized documents—and unacceptable cultural biases are often embedded in the output. In translation, such mistakes can have serious legal, financial or reputational consequences.

Case in point: a pharmacy customer received an email that wished her dead. The culprit? An automated translation. Obviously this shocked the customer, but it was the pharmacy's reputation that truly suffered.

Privacy and data security are also at risk, since most free translation tools don't provide any guarantee that the text fed into them will be kept confidential. Moreover, they actually use that data to produce other content, which goes against Canadian and Quebec privacy and data protection laws. 

"Having a rigorous, human-led process is the only way to ensure reliable, secure, quality language services," says OTTIAQ president Betty Cohen. "We strongly recommend working with certified translators to avoid potentially costly errors." 

As a professional order, OTTIAQ has a legal mandate to protect the public. It does so by informing the public, setting high professional standards, and promoting the expertise of its over 2,800 certified members. 

OTTIAQ's position on artificial intelligence in translation

The following position on the use of artificial intelligence in translation has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Ordre des traducteurs, terminologues et interprètes agréés du Québec (OTTIAQ). Given its mission to protect the public, OTTIAQ believes it is important for everyone to understand the potential uses and limitations of artificial intelligence in translation, interpretation and terminology. OTTIAQ encourages its members and the public to share this information and stay abreast of the latest technological developments in order to use these tools safely and effectively. 

To fulfill its mandate and provide better guidelines for the work of translators, interpreters and terminologists, OTTIAQ must keep close tabs on technological advances that have an impact on the language professions. The rapid pace of these advances can be seen in the advent of generative artificial intelligence and tools such as ChatGPT. The general public now has access to automated translation tools that are fast and easy to use, but come with a high degree of risk. As a professional order governed by Quebec's Professional Code, OTTIAQ believes it has a duty to inform the public of the benefits and drawbacks of the automated translation and interpretation tools currently available. 

What you need to know

Translation is one of the main applications of artificial intelligence. Neural machine translation (NMT), which is based on the neural networks used in AI, appeared on the market in 2016, well before generative artificial intelligence. 

Professional translators were already using other digital technologies and quickly added NMT to their toolboxes, but not without putting processes in place to detect and correct its mistakes. They were thus early adopters of this revolutionary technology. 

The advent of generative artificial intelligence hasn't actually changed those processes much. What is has done is provide language professionals with new tools that can improve their workflow, particularly when researching terminology. Yet academic and corporate studies have shown that dedicated automated translation tools produce more specific and accurate translations than ones based on generative AI. While translations produced by generative AI are based on whole documents and can be stylistically superior, they often contain numerous inaccuracies—the product of AI's tendency to make things up, called a "hallucination." In such situations, the involvement of a language professional becomes even more crucial.

Automated translation can be very useful for content that is straightforward or general in nature. It is far less so for more technical or sensitive documents, where a poor translation can have serious physical, mental, financial, legal or reputational consequences. In the same way, automated interpretation apps are helpful for simple conversations—when travelling, for example—but cannot replace the services of a professional medical or court interpreter.

In the interest of public safety, automated translation and interpretation tools must be used wisely. That means that whenever there are real-world consequences, a language professional should be involved.

 Further considerations

Being easily accessible to the general public, automated translation tools and generative AI are often presented as miracle solutions for translation and interpretation. But along with the risk of sheer mistakes, there are other reasons to proceed with caution: 

• Confidentiality – Free automated translation tools don't provide any assurance that the data you provide will be kept confidential. Worse still, the data is used to train the AI or produce other translations. The terms and conditions of some of the most popular apps even state outright that any content fed into the system will be reused.
  
  
• Data security – The translation tools available to the general public operate from servers located outside Canada. Using them to process confidential data or personal information goes against Canadian and Quebec privacy and data protection laws.
  
  
• Quality – Large language models like ChatGPT are trained on billions of gigabytes of online content. The machine retransmits that content, and in doing so, can misinterpret information, reproduce cognitive and cultural biases, fail to be inclusive, and contribute to declining writing quality by reusing machine output. It's important to remember that AI does not think. Only humans can work consciously and from a multidimensional perspective.

 

OTTIAQ's position

OTTIAQ welcomes new technology and encourages members to use it to provide the best possible language services. But it also calls on them to integrate these tools into an OTTIAQ-approved process, which must always include at least one round of quality control by a professional. In OTTIAQ's view, this is the only way for language professionals to uphold their code of ethics and properly protect the public.

By the same token, OTTIAQ calls on the public not to use free automated translation tools without due consideration for the risks outlined above and strongly advises anyone in need of quality language services to work with a conscientious, certified professional.

Key takeaways

• AI-based translation tools have been available since 2016. The technology isn't new for translators; it's already part of their workflows.
  
  
• Translation tools for the general public can be useful for simple texts of a general nature that don't contain personal or confidential information.
  
  
• In any other situation, failure to involve a language professional could have serious consequences

Open letter to Veen Bosch & Keuning in regards to the usage of AI to translate books into English language

 

Emne: Open letter to Veen Bosch & Keuning in regards to the usage of AI to translate books into English language - CEATL

https://www.ceatl.eu/open-letter-to-veen-bosch-keuning-in-regards-to-the-usage-of-ai-to-translate-books-into-english-language

6 Nov, 2024 

OPEN LETTER TO VEEN BOSCH & KEUNING
IN REGARDS TO THE USAGE OF AI
TO TRANSLATE BOOKS INTO ENGLISH LANGUAGE

 

We are horrified to read in The Bookseller about Veen Bosch & Keuning’s “limited experiment with some Dutch authors, for their books to be translated into English language using AI”. Veen Bosch & Keuning claim that they are “not creating books with AI, it all starts and ends with human action” – yet this is patently not the case.

As CEATL points out in its Statement on Artificial Intelligence, “AI usage standardises translations, impoverishing written cultures and languages in general through, among other things, priming bias and self-pollution.”  Studies have demonstrated that post-editing a literary text generated by AI takes much longer.

Furthemore, literary translators are already struggling to make a living with their work, a work that requires a great deal of knowledge, creativity and many different skills. The publishing sector cannot do without well-trained literary translators; to pretend otherwise would mean impoverishing the cultural landscape as a whole.

We strongly believe that it is very much in interest of every stakeholder in the book chain – translators, authors, publishers and especially readers – to keep literary translation human. Machines do not translate, they merely generate textual material; books are written by human authors and should be translated by human translators. Imagination, understanding and creativity are intrinsically human and should not be left out of any literary text.

Regards, 

The Board of CEATL

Sprogværktøjer til hverdagsbrug – hvad kan de, hvad kan du? - Kursus

 

Du kan engelsk, men du er ikke helt stiv i det. Du er bedre til at tale det end til at skrive det. Du bliver bedt om eller har brug for at skrive en kortere salgs- eller marketingtekst til at lægge på sociale medier, Instagram, Linkedin, eller jeres hjemmeside. Eller til en e-mail.

Du ved der findes forskellige online oversættelsesværktøjer, men er de gode nok, hvordan virker de, hvilke risici er der ved at bruge dem?

Forretningshemmeligheder, kvalitet, gratis versioner, korrekthed, tjek og korrektur? I det hele taget er du lidt usikker.

Vi tilbyder undervisning i følgende værktøjer, med dansk som inputsprog og engelsk som outputsprog, eller omvendt: DeepL gratis version, Google Translate gratis version, Microsoft Bing gratis version, Amazon translate gratis version, Phrase gratis version MemoQ  gratis version, eTranslate, ChatGPT gratis version.

Et ad gangen, eller to, tre eller flere.

Sprogværktøjer til hverdagsbrug
Sprogværktøjer til hverdagsbrug har til formål at gøre livet lettere for medarbejdere i dansk erhvervsliv, virksomheder, organisationer og institutioner. Medarbejdere, der fra tid til anden, eller tit måske, skal oversætte en tekst, skrive til onlinemedier eller til interessenter på et sprog, som medarbejderen måske ikke kender helt godt eller måske ikke rigtig har tid til at sætte sig ind i.

Vi vil gøre tilværelsen lettere ved at vise, hvilke sprogværktøjer der findes. Sprogværktøjer, som er let tilgængelige, som er billige, som ikke kræver plug-ins, og som netop har til formål at understøtte og lette den fremmedsprogede kommunikation.

Det kan være intern kommunikation, ekstern kommunikation, SoMe-tekster, produkttekster og webtekster. Det kan være på engelsk, fransk, tysk eller spansk, men det kan også være ukrainsk, russisk, belarussisk, kinesisk, tyrkisk eller arabisk.

Hvilke værktøjer findes der, hvor finder man dem, hvordan kommer man i gang, og hvad koster det, hvilke risici er der? Hvordan med forretningshemmeligheder, hvordan med korrekthed, korrektur og kvalitet?

Hvad kan værktøjerne, hvad kan de ikke? Styrker, svagheder og hvad skal man selv kunne?

This document applies to most, if not all, written languages, but it provides examples only in English. While this document covers the essential elements of plain language, it has some intentional limits, as follows:

—    It does not cover all types of communication. It applies only to printed or digital information that is primarily in the form of text.
NOTE 1    However, creators of other types of communications, such as podcasts and videos, can find this document useful.

—    It does not include existing technical guidance about accessibility and digital documents, although the guidance can apply to both.
NOTE 2    For guidance on accessibility, authors of digital documents can consider the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines[4] and EN 301 549.

Scope
This International Standard is for anybody who creates or helps create documents. The widest use of plain language is for documents that are intended for the general public, but it is also applicable, for example, to technical writing, legislative drafting, or using controlled languages. 

This Standard will help authors develop documents that communicate effectively with their intended readers. It applies to most written languages and reflects the most recent research on plain language and the experience of plain language experts. This Standard provides principles and guidelines for developing plain language documents. The guidelines detail how the principles should be interpreted and applied. 

The four governing principles are as follows: – Principle 1: Readers get what they need (relevant) – Principle 2: Readers can easily find what they need (findable) – Principle 3: Readers can easily understand what they find (understandable) – Principle 4: Readers can easily use the information (usable) These principles rest on the premise that a document will be usable if the information in it is relevant, findable, and understandable (see Figure 1).

The standard will help people around the world access and use information.
Today (20 June 2023) the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) formally approved its first international plain language standard. The new standard will help improve written communication for everyone. All industries and sectors benefit from improved communication. 

This is particularly important in legal, health, public policy, government and corporate communications, where information influences critical decisions and people’s rights. 

• For the public, the standard aims to improve communication while promoting equity and access to information for global audiences. 

• For writers and communications professionals across all sectors, the new standard provides nearly universal plain language principles, guidelines and techniques to create accessible and effective communications. 

Economic benefits of plain language include increased efficiency and increased effectiveness.

The international plain language standard was developed by a working group that is part of ISO’s Technical Committee 37. The group of 50 plain language experts, representing 16 countries, drafted and advocated for the standard, with the support of the International Plain Language Federation. 

 
Why you need plain language
All industries and sectors benefit from improved communication. Readers benefit when they can understand and use information. And organizations gain improved branding, efficiency, and effectiveness of communications products. A plain language standard provides all sectors, in nearly all languages, with a set of guidelines and strategies to make information more accessible and effective.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has published a plain language standard:

ISO 24495-1:2023 Plain language — Part 1: Governing principles and guidelines.
