Talk:Community Wishlist/Wishes/Update translation tool with generative AI

Thank you

Hey @Escargot bleu - thank you for this wish. I see Generative AI as a potential solution to many problems, but want to better understand what initially inspired this as a solution.

Is your issue that content translation tools often use the improper verb tense? JWheeler-WMF (talk) 16:03, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello @JWheeler-WMF

Tense is an issue among others, this was just an example. There are regular complaints about translations on French Wikipedia village pump, a recent one being fr:Wikipédia:Le Bistro/21 juin 2024#Outil de traduction à la masse.

And concerning generative AI as a solution, in my attemps to use it ChatGPT gave better results than tools like Deepl as it was able to correctly use template. It was not perfect though, sometimes it invented templates and I needed several interactions to get what I wanted. Escargot bleu (talk) 16:19, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the elaboration. I'm wondering if the wish should instead be re-worded as an opportunity to improve how content translation handles verb tense, grammar, etc? JWheeler-WMF (talk) 16:40, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
