Technology has increasingly become an integral part of the Bible translation process. Over time, both the translation process and relevant technology have evolved greatly. More recently, the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) has made great progress in solving some problems previously thought impenetrable. Through this study we endeavor to better understand and communicate about a segment of the current landscape of the Bible translation process as it relates to technology and identify pertinent issues. We conduct several interviews with individuals working in different levels of the Bible translation process from multiple organizations to identify gaps and bottlenecks where technology (including recent advances in AI) could potentially play a pivotal role in reducing translation time and improving overall quality.
翻译:技术已日益成为圣经翻译过程中不可或缺的一部分。随着时间推移,翻译流程及相关技术均发生了显著演变。近年来,自然语言处理(NLP)领域在解决某些曾被认为难以攻克的问题上取得了巨大进展。本研究旨在更好地理解和阐述当前圣经翻译流程中与技术相关的部分现状,并识别关键问题。我们通过与来自不同组织、从事圣经翻译流程各层次工作的个人进行多次访谈,确定技术(包括人工智能的最新进展)可在哪些空白处和瓶颈环节发挥关键作用,以减少翻译时间并提高整体质量。
