Translate and edit text across many languages with Write, Translator and Voice.
Translator and interpreter
ChangingMachine translation handles simple texts, so there are fewer jobs translating from scratch and more jobs reviewing and polishing machine output. Specialization, cultural adaptation and live interpreting are what clients still pay people for.
Where this job sits on the map
In the same group: 78 of 100 professions.
What changes
People now do simple translations themselves in AI tools, just to understand a text.
The work shifts to editing machine translation and adapting it to the culture.
Specialization is worth more: medical, legal, technical and literary work, where credentials such as ATA certification count.
AI drafts, the person decides
How the work splits here: AI prepares a draft, the person checks it and makes the call.
What AI does
- Makes a draft translation
- Keeps terminology consistent using a glossary
- Suggests versions in different tones
- Transcribes and translates audio and video
What stays with the person
- Accuracy in documents where a mistake is costly
- Cultural adaptation, humor and wordplay
- Responsibility for any translation you certify with your signature
- Live interpreting at meetings and negotiations, including court and medical settings, where accuracy has legal or health consequences
