אם מתרגמים ומתרגמות חוששים לעתיד המקצוע שלהם בעידן הבינה המלאכותית, הרי שמי שמכשירים את הדורות הבאים במקצוע הזה כבר רואים את ההשפעות בשטח: חלק ניכר מתוכניות ההכשרה למתרגמים הצטמצמו או שלא נפתחו כלל. אבל האם באמת אין טעם יותר בהוראת תרגום? מנסיוני כמרצה לתרגום בעשרים השנים האחרונות אני רוצה לטעון שגם לעבודה בתרגום עם כלי בינה מלאכותית צריך ללמוד. יש להכיר את מגבלות הבינה המלאכותית, ללמוד לזהות את המקומות שבהם הכלים האלו עדיין כושלים, ומעל לכל - לדעת איך להתמודד נכון כאשר זיהינו בעיה או טעות. למעשה, נוצר כאן מעגל קסמים: כדי לעשות בקרה טובה על תרגום של בינה מלאכותית, צריך להיות מתרגם טוב. וכדי להיות מתרגם טוב, צריך ללמוד לתרגם. בשנים האחרונות אני משלבת שימוש בכלי בינה מלאכותית בקורסים בתרגום ובעיניי בהחלט יש עדיין זכות קיום לתוכניות הכשרה בתחום, כל עוד יותאמו לעידן החדש.

One of the translator's greatest challenges is marketing, or 'getting your name out there.' It's often daunting, costly, and not fun.

Originally from Liverpool, England, Danny has been playing with words from an early age, and translating professionally for over 25 years. He specializes in non-profits, fundraising and marketing translations, and also writes, translates and produces bespoke family legacy books.

Egyptology has been my fascination since childhood. I worked as a travel writer for many years and visited Egypt many times. I have worked as a researcher, accountant, caregiver and writer. I have presented lectures at previous ITA conferences about hieroglyphs, Ancient Egyptian iconography, religion, culture and magic.
