ChatGPT

To translate this page requires 1.6 hours of human effort. ChatGPT Translate software does the same task in 42 milliseconds.

The SMART team offers documentation tools and services to simplify texts for better computer-assisted translations. When the texts are written in a controlled language with standardized terminology, the computer-assisted translations are accurate, consistent and easy to read.

How to Prepare Texts for Translation

Step 1. Write the texts in Controlled English and use the MAXit Checker to check for translation problems. The MAXit Checker links to OpenAI ChatGPT Translate to make accurate translations, including the .xml tags.

Step 2. Professional translators edit the ChatGPT translations for publication quality. This process enhances accuracy and lowers translation cost. The SMART AI lab recommends ChatGPT.
