Even before the advent of LLMs, translation was a precarious profession, literary translators were at the lower end. Insights into the markets in GB, France, and Germany. The article shows why humans are better than LLM but also that companies prefer the cheap way, degrading humans to badly paid proof readers. In #science as well as in #literature. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/may/08/being-human-helps-despite-rise-of-ai-is-there-still-hope-for-europes-translators

Question for my fellow #translators: Do you find yourself, either consciously or unconsciously, using the em dash less frequently, for fear your copy could be mistaken for AI-generated content?

→ Turkey’s translators are training the AI tools that will replace them
https://restofworld.org/2025/turkeys-translators-training-ai-replacements/

“The trends are global. In November, the Netherlands’ largest publisher announced it would use AI to translate certain books, with humans only involved in light edits. In the UK, over a third of 12,500 translators said they have lost work to machines.”

Happiness is... an English-to-Yiddish translator hearing that you translate from Ladino, and spontaneously signing your copy of his book... in Ladino. 🤓

I'm getting ready to go to the American Literary Translators Association conference in Milwaukee. I'm looking forward to the "Cold Beers, Cold Readings" event, with performances of scenes from recently translated stage plays. (I'm bringing a scene from my English translation of "In It for the Dough.") I'll also be on a panel about using CAT software in literary translation.
