We have seen how Artificial Intelligence serves us to generate texts or images never seen before from a phrase, we have seen how it can be used to compose entire songs (from voice to instrumental), at the same time that this technology has been used to make an excavator completely autonomous on a construction site.
But we would be very naive if we thought that this is the limit of the applications that can be made of this technology, since the truth is that the limit of AI is really in the ability that we as people have to imagine what it can serve us for.
And it is that, many times AI has the capabilities to do other things, but our ignorance prevents us from taking full advantage of what we could. In this case, it is about making translations of texts much more accurate and correct than what we normally find with the typical translation apps like Google Translate or DeepL.
And while many of these apps or platforms usually give quite good results, there are also occasions when they fail to interpret phrases, make literal translations and sometimes are not correct with the final message and other language barriers that can cause confusion.
But this is where developer Javier López, founder of Magnific AI, a platform that serves to scale images powered by AI, has come to give us the definitive solution in our translations using our favorite chatbot, whether it’s ChatGPT, Gemini or whichever you prefer.
And as he himself has recognized from his X account, 99% of the content on his English website and 100% of the Japanese version have been translated using this trick or prompt. In fact, he has offered up to two prompts that he assures he constantly uses and that give him much better results than the typical translation apps.
The trick to getting perfect translations
The first of the prompts consists of writing:
Translate the following text to [LANGUAGE] taking care of:
– Smooth and natural expression
– In an informal or conversational context
– For interactions with other people on Twitter that show respect but are not excessively formal
[Text to translate]
Once we have obtained the translation, we can apply the second prompt to ensure that there are no errors or inaccuracies, and for this we have to write:
Fix [LANGUAGE] ONLY if the errors:
[Text to translate]
And the AI will do all the dirty work for us, ensuring that there are no typos, grammatical errors or anything else of the sort. It is worth noting that although it is a trick that gives good results, it is always advisable to review the translations just in case.
