Transforming the web fiction industry with AI
As a lifelong enthusiast of manga and anime, I have devoted over 2,000 hours to this passion, exploring the depths of its narratives and characters. This journey has often led me from watching anime to delving into the corresponding manga and light novels in pursuit of continuing the story. Traditionally, this transition was hindered by the challenge of finding accurate and well-translated content, as I frequently encountered poorly translated versions that relied on machine translation tools with subpar grammar.
However, the landscape of translation has dramatically transformed in 2023, thanks to the advent of AI technologies. Among these, ChatGPT has emerged as a groundbreaking tool for translating documents from various languages into English with remarkable accuracy. By training it with a specific glossary of terms, it is capable of producing translations that rival professional standards, thereby streamlining the translation process.
This innovation presents a significant opportunity for content platforms such as Webnovel and Wuxiaworld, which are leading entities in the industry, generating millions of dollars through their translation services. Recognizing the potential, I have developed a unique pipeline to enhance the efficiency and quality of translations:
- Initial translation from the original language to English is done using DeepL to ensure precise adherence to the source material, especially for specialized glossary terms.
- The translation is then refined and proofread with ChatGPT, which elevates the text to a professional level of English, ensuring clarity, coherence, and engagement for readers.
Although it is technically feasible to conduct the entire translation process directly through ChatGPT, employing DeepL for the initial step is crucial for maintaining the integrity of specialized terms and nuances.
Books in the Works
I am currently translating the intriguing title "I have 90 billion dog licking gold," and have made several chapters available for readers. These can be accessed directly through [insert link here], offering an exclusive glimpse into the novel's captivating world.
Should a chapter not be available on the website, I encourage readers to utilize ChatGPT for on-the-spot translations, ensuring they never miss a beat of the story. It is important to note that if the output appears summarized, requesting a regeneration of the response can yield a more detailed translation.
Looking Ahead
As I continue to refine and expand my translating services, there is potential to collaborate with platforms like Webnovel and Wattpad. This endeavor could not only broaden the reach of translated novels but also create a new revenue stream by catering to the insatiable appetite of manga and anime fans for high-quality, accessible translations.
By leveraging the capabilities of AI in translation, we are on the cusp of revolutionizing how stories are shared across languages, making the rich and diverse worlds of manga and anime accessible to a global audience like never before.
