You can do that, that's fine. As long as you can verify it is an accurate translation, so you need to know the subject matter and the target language.

But you could probably also have used Google translate and then just fine tune the output yourself. Anyone could have done that at any point in the last 10 years.

I recently have edited a small wiki page that was obviously written by someone that wasn’t proficient in English. I used AI to just reword what was already written and then I edited the output myself. It did a pretty good job. It was a page about some B-list Indonesian actress that I just stumbled upon and I didn’t want to put time and effort into it but the page really needed work done.

This is the goal of Abstract Wikipedia. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Abstract_Wikipedia

Wikipedia's translation tool for porting articles between languages currently uses google translate so I could see an LLM being an improvement but LLMs are also way way costlier than normal translation models like google translate. Would it be worth it? And also would the better LLM translations make editors less likely to reword the translation to make it's tone better?
