Tech Translator

The number of users of intelligent voice input method is up to 30 million.

用户 At around one o'clock on January 10th, users successively received pushes from Qingci Technology's intelligent translation software.

The input method is only the Android version. The first user who came into contact with the intelligent translation software was the Android user.

In fact, this is also normal, the software has just been developed, and Apple's review is notoriously long. There will be no Apple version of the software in a short time.

文 Wenyuan Lu, an old professor at the School of Languages, Yanjing University.

He has retired for several years and was returned to school. He has been engaged in the translation of famous books at home and abroad.

In recent years, fingers have become increasingly inflexible. Computer typing is slow.

Now he has a smartphone in his hand and uses intelligent voice input method to record what he wants to say.

He felt that the domestic artificial intelligence technology was really developed. The tongue is not very flexible because it is too old.

He spoke tremolo, but intelligent voice input method software could easily recognize it.

Suddenly a reminder sounded, and the voice software pushed him a piece of software.

Lu Wenyuan saw that the name was intelligent translation software, and he was doing translation work himself. Download this software with curiosity.

"Easy communication, distanceless communication, the world is broad because of me. Welcome to use intelligent translation software." A clear female voice sounded.

After that, the electronic synthesis sound guides the operation of the software.

After Lu Wenyuan learned the basic operations, log in to his account.

The software prompts you to use 0.5 yuan for one hour, 59 for monthly subscription and 590 for annual subscription.

Free for 30 minutes for the first time.

Lu Wenyuan directly 59 yuan monthly, this little money he does not care.

发现 He found smart translation software to do activities, buy one get one free. Buy one month and give it two months.

发现 He found that his voice information can be directly synchronized to the intelligent translation software.

Lu Wenyuan is fluent in English, French, Russian, German, Japanese and Spanish.

He started to test this translation software, and verified the accuracy of this intelligent translation software through mutual translation of multiple languages.

打开 He opened the software and found that the software operation is very simple and the settings are very delicate.

Through his many years of experience in translation, Lu Wenyuan is delighted to see this software. Only found a slight flaw in the software.

Is actually not a flaw. Except for special simultaneous interpreters, even ordinary translators cannot do this.

That is simultaneous translation of a sentence.

This is not a software bug, but a grammatical limitation of various languages.

Without finishing a complete sentence, no one can know the approximate meaning of the entire sentence.

I also only in large public places, simultaneous interpretation staff in the case of the other manuscript.

I can translate each other's words smoothly.

Lu Wenyuan knows that you can translate different languages ​​in real time without saying a complete sentence.

This is not a scientific view of materialism, but a rise to theological level.

In addition to providing voice translation, the software also provides text, picture and video translation functions.

It's just that text images and video translations need to be purchased separately.

The text picture translation function requires 40 yuan per month, and the video translation function requires 60 yuan per month. This feature is not available for annual subscription.

文 Lu Wenyuan looks at this function, the text translation supports reading 50 megabytes of documents and pictures.

Video translation, supports five g size videos.

Lu Wenyuan was very glad that this little software had too much influence on the country.

People around the world can communicate freely, and the benefits this can bring will be huge.

In particular, as China's largest industrial country in the world, the intuitive feeling is that products are better sold.

Lu Wenyuan posted an article on his public account.

"The coming of the gray rhino in the translation industry, artificial intelligence will replace most of the translation. Peers do and cherish. 》

In the article, he briefly introduced the capabilities of intelligent translation software.

The main idea of ​​the article is that there is no literacy. People who can only translate mechanically will soon be eliminated by artificial intelligence.

文学 A person who is literate, he can no longer be called a translator, but a translator. The literary level is almost equal to that of a writer.

Lu Wenyuan, who highly respects translation software, gives a simple example. Explain the translation accuracy of the translation software.

He translated the Romance of the Three Kingdoms from Chinese to Russian, and then from Russian to English.

Finally, it was translated into English from French for comparison with French translators.

Lu Wenyuan pointed out that the reason why he did not translate into Chinese is that there are too many vernacular versions of Chinese.

No matter what intelligent software translates into? As long as the general meaning is correct, a corresponding vernacular translation can always be found.

The final result is that the translation software can perfectly translate the main meaning in the book.

Lu Wenyuan wrote here, the pen tip turned. He also pointed out that the shortcomings of intelligent translation software can only translate vernacular.

For the classical Chinese and semi-classical Chinese, which contain the essence of Chinese culture, they can only be translated into vernacular, but not the other way around.

Lu Wenyuan's public account has a lot of followers. He published an article and was quickly reprinted by multiple media.

Sensational version

The job of translation will be completely replaced by artificial intelligence. All translators will be laid off in the future.

Fortunate Disaster Edition

Outside the, outside the 。. Another profession is about to disappear. Someone used to think that learning translation was high, but now it has been replaced by robots.
