Chinese cultural products, like the triple-A video game "Black Myth: Wukong" and the animated film "Nezha 2," have been winning hearts around the globe. 🎮 With these hits on the rise, the spotlight now shifts to the unsung heroes behind the scenes — translators.
Senior translator Wang Zhongyi and Min Yi, a standing director of the Translators Association of China, explain that while these creations attract a global following, much of their rich cultural essence can be lost in translation. The challenge is to balance the original flavor with a language style that resonates internationally.
Enter the era of AI! 🤖 As technology reshapes industries, translators are embracing cutting-edge tools to refine their craft. The goal is to use AI to boost efficiency while preserving the deep nuances that make Chinese storytelling unique.
This dynamic blend of tradition and technology is paving the way for a future where the cultural treasures from the Chinese mainland can be enjoyed worldwide. For young professionals, gamers, and culture enthusiasts alike, the evolving role of translators is a compelling story of innovation and dedication.
