How to exploit China’s AI-powered platforms for Korean-Chinese translation/interpreting education

In the wake of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming human lives at an unprecedented rate. As this new era begins and technological advancements continue to accelerate, there appears to be a parallel need for corresponding changes and reforms in the field of translation and interpretation education. Indeed, many interpreters and translators now incorporate automated translation tools in their work, and a significant number of researchers are advocating for the application of AI platforms in translation and interpretation education, proposing innovative teaching methods. Among these innovations, various platforms developed specifically for interpreter training can be categorized into training-based platforms, data storage-based platforms, and interpreter material storage-based platforms. This paper delves into the impact of such platforms on translation and interpretation education, with a particular focus on the neighboring country of China, which extensively utilizes Learning Management System (LMS)-based smart cloud platforms, AI platforms, and voice recognition applications in this educational field. Firstly, the analysis of classroom systems based on LMS, such as the iSmart smart educational cloud platform, the SHIYIBAO smart translation and interpretation education platform, and Oia developed in collaboration with Shanghai International Studies University, reveals their usage patterns. Secondly, experiments with applications capable of voice recognition, such as iFLYTEK, are examined. Th dly, the impact of on- screen subtitles displayed on computer monitors on interpreters is considered. These case studies demonstrate that AI platforms can enhance the quality of translation and interpretation, and also significantly alleviate the fear and burden associated with interpreting practice for students. This positive effect, noted during their interpreting exercises, confirms that platform systems incorporating voice recognition and other AI technologies positively influence interpreter education and the quality of interpretation. Additionally, these findings highlight the pressing need for South Korea to actively adopt such platforms in its translation and interpretation education moving forward.

人类进入第四次工业革命时期后，包括人工智能在内的各种科技正以惊人 的速度改变着人类的生活。随着时代变化与科技发展，翻译教学也需随之做出 相应的变革。目前有不少从事翻译的翻译工作者在自动翻译的帮助下完成口笔 译工作，也有很多将人工智能平台应用于翻译教学，并为翻译教学建言献策的学 者。为翻译培训开发的平台分为基于培训的平台、基于资料保管的平台、基于翻 译资料保管的平台等。本文主要考察分析目前中国在这些领域的发展与应用情 况。首先，分析了中国基于LMS的教学系统中智能教育云平台外语智能学习平台 （iSmart）。此外，还介绍了智能翻译教学平台视译宝（SHIYIBAO），以及上 海外国语大学合作开发的创新口笔译智能教学服务平台（Oia）等的应用情况。之 后考察了包括使用科大讯飞在内的语音识别技术的口译研究等多项实验研究。最 后，就电脑屏幕上显示的字幕对口译员影响的相关研究进行了考察。从这些案例 中不难看出，人工智能平台有助于提升翻译质量。从口译相关研究中也可以了解 到，使用包括语音识别在内的人工智能技术平台系统，对翻译教学及翻译品质有 着积极作用，今后的韩国翻译教育中也应积极利用这些平台与技术。
