A partnership with OpenAI will let podcasters replicate their voices to automatically create foreign-language versions of their shows.

    The problem with this is the same problem news websites has when they started switching out their foreign language writers with AI.

    Just because you can translate what is literally being said word by word, doesn’t mean you’re translating the intent of what was being said.

    Idioms, phrases, jokes, pleasantries, etc. won’t translate into foreign languages no matter how well you can translate the literal words being said.

    If you want good quality translation, you should get someone who knows the language and the culture to do it, as they can translate what’s between the lines.

      I honestly think this a non-issue with the new llms coming out. Gpt 4 definitely understands idioms.

      Hardest part with be getting the tone down and adding proper emotion to it.
