Ask HN: What's the best AI to translate fiction?

1 points| pipnonsense | 2 years ago

Hey, for those up-to-date with the myriad of LLM tools being launched everyday, what is the best option to translate a fiction short story from Portuguese to English?

The genre is dystopian science fiction, but not hard scifi, nor using many weird words and names.

I did it with ChatGPT, but I wonder if there are better, specialized tools out there. I also tried DeepL, but they accept credit cards from Brazil in their pro version (which I need because the text is 25,000 characters long).

Thanks

You mean like product marketing documents or government tax manuals?

[more seriously... "fiction" is a big bucket. I suspect that none are great, but some might be better at westerns or romances than others. Narrowing it down might yield better results.]

It's sci-fi, just edited my question with more details.
