Description
Unlock the future of literary translation with the power of Artificial Intelligence!
This comprehensive course explores how AI technologies are revolutionizing the field of literary translation, with a unique focus on Kazakh and English language pairs. You will learn how to effectively use cutting-edge tools such as ChatGPT, QazGPT, Google Gemini and Deepl to translate complex literary texts including fiction, poetry, folklore, and culturally embedded narratives.
Designed for students, educators, translators, and researchers, this course offers practical guidance on navigating the linguistic, cultural, and aesthetic challenges of AI-assisted literary translation. You’ll gain insight into how neural machine translation and large language models function, and how to critically assess and post-edit AI-generated translations for accuracy, creativity, and cultural sensitivity.
Through real-world examples, case studies, and hands-on exercises, you’ll explore the limitations of AI, develop strategic and translation skills, and learn to collaborate with AI as a creative partner—rather than a substitute for human insight. The course emphasizes ethical use, translator visibility, and AI literacy as core competences in 21st-century translation practice.
Whether you're a BA student in Translation Studies or a freelance literary translator, this course will empower you to harness AI to enhance your literary translation projects across Kazakh and English.
