A Comparative Study of Traditional Translation Tools and Generative AI in Thai-to-English Translation: Evaluating Accuracy, Flexibility, and Contextual Understanding
Abstract
This study compared the performance of traditional translation tools and a generative AI chatbot in translating Thai expressions into English. The generative AI chatbot consistently outperformed traditional tools in terms of accuracy, flexibility, and adaptability. It demonstrated superior ability to handle diverse text types and produce more accurate, nuanced translations. However, limitations such as dependence on training data and potential challenges with complex text were identified. Future research should address these limitations and explore the broader applications of generative AI in translation.
