Welcome and overview0:48
Explore how large language models transform translation processes and learn tools that maximize AI in translation. Build a practical guide to context, fine tuning, and data security with examples.
Brief introduction to LLMs and their role in translation8:57
Learn how large language models use context to improve translation accuracy, enable domain-specific fine-tuning, and deliver culturally aware outputs while navigating challenges like hallucinations, bias, and security.

1.1. The Evolution of Language Models6:40
Explore how large language models enhance translation with context-aware, high-quality output, glossaries, and automated quality assurance. Trace their evolution from Eliza to transformer-based, multilingual systems learning from vast data.
1.2. The Role of LLM in Translation5:14
Large language models translate with context, not word by word, delivering accurate, natural translations by analyzing whole sentences and handling idioms, tone, and domain-specific nuances.
1.3. Challenges in Translation Without Context3:52
Learn why context matters in translation, as tools like Google Translate fail with ambiguous strings, especially in ui localization where short strings require disambiguation.
Practical Application 1: Context in Action8:59
Learn how context improves translations with AI tools, from ui strings to e-commerce text. Use prompts and Crowdin AI assistant to leverage terminology and translation memory for mobile app localization.

2.1. Crowdin AI Assitant2:28
learn to use the crowdin ai assistant for translations, craft prompts with context, compare OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Azure, and review token-based pricing and free credits.
2.2. Providing Context in Crowdin8:57
Learn to provide context in Crowdin at the project, file, string, and translator session levels, configure the AI assistant with a context message, and craft precise prompts to guide translations.
Practical Application 2: Using Context Tools in Crowdin7:53
Learn to use context tools in Crowdin to provide project, file, string, and session level context; customize the AI assistant for multiple translations and SEO-friendly results.

3.1 The Importance of Fine-tuning3:16
Fine-tune pre-trained models to domain-specific translations using glossaries and translation memories, with supervised or few-shot methods, and leverage user feedback for contextually accurate outputs.
3.2. Crowdin's AI Assistant and Fine-tuning2:21
Discover how to fine-tune translation models in Crowdin using the AI assistant with glossaries and translation memories, including providing an OpenAPI key for privacy, pricing, and terminology accuracy.
3.3. Creating a Customized AI Translator3:03
Fine-tune the model with your translation memories and glossaries to build a customized AI translator that reflects your brand's voice and improves accuracy and efficiency.
Practical Application 3: Fine-tuning in Crowdin2:39
Fine-tune the AI assistant in Crowdin with your translation memory and glossary to produce domain-specific, consistent translations for mobile app updates and ecommerce content.

4.1. Addressing Data Security Concerns1:48
Address data security in large language models and why privacy matters; use your own API key with Crowdin's AI Assistant to safeguard data with providers like OpenAI.
4.2. Ownership and Pricing Policy1:07
Own your AI models trained in Crowding to control access, protect data, and safeguard intellectual property, while Crowdin offers a 5 USD credit to test AI features.
Conclusion and Q&A1:47
Learn how context drives accurate ai translations and customize prompts in Crowdin's ai assistant across project, string, and session levels; fine-tune with translation memories and glossaries for consistency.
