It makes sense for AI to do this kind of work.
But companies should hire editors to verify the results, including someone with local cultural knowledge.
you wouldn't be saying this if you were impacted by this. ai translation is no where near at the same level as actual work done by localisers
Are you sure about that? With the advances to AI in the last year, something like that seems trivial
This could come only from someone who hasn't played around with any AI
