Prompt engineering for literary translators – webinar

online – the application deadline is 30 November 2026

As the language industry has embraced machine translation and post-editing since the advent of DeepL in 2017, the practice of literary translation has remained resolutely hands-on. This webinar takes as its starting point the belief that literary translation is and should remain a quintessentially human activity, but that Gen AI-based tools offer us an unparallelled resource, a valuable opportunity to plug into the linguistic hive-mind.
