AI Translation Sparks EU Jobs Debate

AI-powered translation tools are accelerating the industry in the European Union, with publishers like Harlequin France testing AI-assisted services from Fluent Planet, sparking backlash from translators but promoting faster, cheaper translations. Experts say AI will likely change language work rather than replace it, with high-stakes tasks still requiring human input, and while the profession faces job-quality shifts and tighter competition for entry-level roles, EU data show overall translation employment continuing to grow. The trend signals a significant shift in the field rather than a collapse.

DeepMind's Journey to Enhanced Language Models via Machine Translation

DeepMind researchers have introduced a new method called Reinforced Self-Training (ReST) to improve the quality of large language models (LLMs) by aligning them with human preferences. They tested ReST in the domain of machine translation (MT) and found that it significantly improves translation quality. ReST generates synthetic training data offline and fine-tunes the LLM using a reward model based on performance feedback. The researchers believe ReST has potential in various generative learning settings and can advance reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) across a broad range of language-related tasks.

Google introduces AI tools for Play Store developers at I/O conference.

Google Play developers can now use generative AI to create and manage custom store listings on the platform. The new AI-powered tools will help developers create new listings and convert existing ones into multiple languages. The AI helper can take developer prompts and create ready-made text to help craft a targeted Google Play Store listing. Additionally, there is a new machine translation tool that can help developers quickly list their app in 10 different languages.

Google Play introduces free machine translation for Android apps and expands PC gaming program.

Google has launched a free machine translation service for Android apps, making it easier for developers to launch their apps in seven languages. The translations will use the same technology that powers Google Translate to automatically translate in-app text, store listings, and product descriptions into other languages. This will help Android developers save time and money that they would otherwise have to spend on traditional translation. The new machine translation capabilities are available to developers who apply to the early access program.
