> but I have to say that AI translation has gotten so good that I'm not sure how much longer translation work will be there, or rather it might end up being more about auditing

It's functional? I wouldn't say it's poetic, I wouldn't want any AI translator translating art, like say a book or poem, I'd be so uncertain that it would correctly bridge the concepts

A good translator can make stylistic choices that elevate the work and make it fit in their language

(Having read lots of well translated manga and anime, also from what I understand there's a few books I've been told by my bilingual friend's are just chef's kiss quality translations)

Considering translating meaningful art is of some value, on that score I don't think we're there yet
