What do you think of human translators vs auto translators?

>> No.72860322

I liked what Nazuner had with the live human translator integrated in stream. It was neat. Translators in chat are the same, and I appreciate them.
Downside of humans that it gives you a focal point of your annoyance if you are actually jōzu instead of just thinking "lol funny AI is bad at nihongo". Upside is that sometimes they do cute or funny interjections such as writing "(eardrum shattering scream)".

Autotranslators are still not great, but better year by year.
Even an pre-N5 EOP should pick up on the tone and some basic words, enough to know when the autotranslator is totally wrong. So they're good enough if they're all you have. I like that they lead to silly mistranslations that create fun reaction images.

>human translators
hard to come by, are ESL themselves so translations come out wrong most of the time, LOCALIZEfags understand the context and vocabulary but butcher it anyway because fuck you and will probably become another minimum effort leech clip channel before long
>Auto translators
hardly ever work properly, misses huge chunks of dialogue, only gives you some idea of what was said about a whole minute ago

I'm actually watching a chuuba named Kasii right now and she speaks both English and Japanese.
https://www.twitch.tv/kqsii
Her translation program translates Japanese to English and English to Japanese. She also has a bot in chat that translates English comments to Japanese and vice-versa. The auto translator kind of gives you a general idea of what she's saying when she speaks Japanese, but it's definitely imperfect. It's still pretty useful though, and it's not like she could afford a human translator.

I usually watch her on days when Henya doesn't stream super long or when Henya's taking a day off, because Kasii only streams 2 or 3 hours. I love watching cute sounding ESL Japanese girls learn English.

I appreciate human translators for big live events, but I'm in the EU and work in an office, so I generally miss stuff live anyway. As far as videos go, I'm at the point with shitty seamonkey clippers that I have scripts running each night to yank and translate full streams using faster-whisper/whisper-ctranslate and whisper's large-v2 model (there are odd regressions with large-v3). It does an /okay/ job.
