ChatGPT Vs. Google Translate
When it comes to translation tasks, the performance of both
ChatGPT and Google Translate depends on the complexity of
the text, the length of the sentences, and the specific
language pair being translated. In general, Google Translate
will provide faster translations, while ChatGPT will usually
produce more accurate and natural-sounding translations,
particularly for longer and more complex sentences.
However, the big difference between the two tools is that
Google Translate is a closed system, whereas ChatGPT
enables you to have input on how the model translates
content based on personal preference. An example of this is
controlling the formality of the output for languages such as
Korean and Japanese where there are different levels of
politeness. As an example, the Korean language has a
formal and informal language system known as
“jondaetmal” and “banmal” respectively. By specifying the
target formality of the language in your prompt, ChatGPT
can generate translations based on different needs.
Likewise, you can use ChatGPT to translate content from
one variant to another variant in the same parent language.
