Cristian ChisCristian Chis Freelance translator & interpreter November 27, 2025 I've just proofread an 80-word translation that had one mistranslation, one terminology issue, and three instances of inconsistency. This was not a technical text, it was an easy-peasy product description. It should be mentioned that the translation was originally a MTPE job. On the one hand, I could point out that machine translation always carries all these risks and more, and that some errors c

The profession of translation has witnessed transformative changes over the decades. From the clatter of typewriters to the hum of AI-powered tools, the journey reflects not only technological advancements but also the resilience and adaptability of translators. Having worked as a Portuguese-to-English translator for some sixty years, I’ve seen firsthand how tools have shaped — and often challenged — our craft.

AI can translate a sentence — but only a human can stand behind it By Steve Yolen For the first time in living memory, the professional translation business is being rewritten—literally—by machines. Artificial-intelligence models such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and DeepL now produce fluent English versions of Portuguese, Spanish, or Chinese texts in seconds.

AI delivers speed. Humans deliver sense By Steve Yolen In the span of two years, artificial intelligence has done to the translation industry what Google once did to maps—it made the world free, fast, and flat. The old “price-per-word” business model has collapsed under the weight of algorithms. But while big translation factories are shrinking, a new kind of player is thriving: the boutique bureau —small, specialized, and indispensable. Beyond words: the era of meaning The t

By Steve Yolen The global AI translation market is projected to reach US$13.5 billion by 2033 , expanding at an annual rate of over 22% , according to industry analysts. The surge reflects a growing demand not just for translation, but for transcreation — the craft of adapting language, tone, and cultural meaning so precisely that the reader feels the content was originally written in their own tongue. AI can now produce technically correct translations in milliseconds. But
