ChatGPT introduced a dedicated translation page. The original article linked the Chinese-language interface; an English interface is also available.
Options below the translator can request a different style, such as more formal or business-oriented wording. Providing audience and context helps avoid a technically correct translation that sounds wrong for its purpose.
I have increasingly used AI translation for that reason. It can handle meaning and tone well, but quality varies by language and subject. Names, numbers, specialist terms, and important instructions still need checking.
The original post wondered what this means for language-related careers. Translation work is changing, but useful judgment, editing, and domain knowledge do not disappear simply because a model can produce a fluent draft.
