In what ways does human translation differ from AI translation?
Is co-translation with AI desirable, and if so, in what conditions? If not, why not? What is gained and what is lost?

AALITRA Database of Australian Literary Translators
Launched in 2022, this database is intended to help users easily find experienced Australian translators of literary texts from a Language Other Than English (LOTE) into English, and/or from English into a LOTE. The database works both as a record of those working in our community and to facilitate links with publishers and authors.
If as an AALITRA member you have published translations into or out of LOTE and would like to be included in the database, please email your details to robertsavage094@gmail.com
