Abstract

This article explores the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in translation through a qualitative, sociotechnical perspective. It examines how AI tools impact translation efficiency, accuracy, cultural sensitivity, and professional roles. Findings reveal a complex interplay where AI enhances speed but struggles with nuanced meaning and cultural context, requiring ongoing human post-editing and oversight. The study highlights ethical concerns around bias and trust, and emphasizes that AI is reshaping rather than replacing the translator’s role. Implications for practice, policy, and future research are discussed.
