Kudos to this agency for (finally!) being honest about why #AI can't replace professional #translation:

  1. Mistranslation
  2. Invention of content
  3. Overuse of trending terms
  4. Challenges with proper nouns
  5. Misalignment of register
  6. Exaggeration of style
  7. Misinterpretation of contextual and cultural nuances
  8. Inability to improve clarity
  9. Literal translations
  10. Misinterpretation of mood
  11. Introduction of nonexistent content
  12. Omission of content

Of course Evangelicals changed the fricking bible to suit their modern politics. This should surprise no one.

Signed up for an event for people looking to join the Brazilian publishing industry as editors/proofreaders. Last year I did a course given by the institution that's hosting this event. We'll take an editing test during the event. I hope I pass; it's a great chance of getting customers.

It offers many courses focused on the Brazilian publishing industry (for translators, editors, writers, literary agents, book publishers, and so on).
