Hi, everyone, I need help. I’m conducting research for my master’s thesis on AI and translation. I’m asking AI to translate some clinical trial protocols into Spanish to analyze the output. However, I’m a bit stuck since I’m using 2 very long documents (146 and 115 pages), and AI cannot process them. I’ve tried dividing them into smaller files of 11-14 each and still nothing. Firstly, I asked AI to output the translation into a doc/docx/pdf file, but when that proved to be more troublesome, I decided to copy-paste the translation into a document; nevertheless, since I was using several documents, AI hallucinated constantly (which is something I guess I should include in my paper). So my question is, does someone know what can/should I do to get AI to translate these documents? Maybe reducing them even more? Here is the prompt I’ve been using: “Translate the following clinical trial protocol from English into Spanish. Preserve meaning, terminology, tone, and structure. Output only the translation in a doc or docx file format. Translate the whole uploaded document.” and then “Translate the following document from English into Spanish. It is the part [1-10] of a clinical trial protocol. Preserve meaning, terminology, tone, and structure. Translate the whole uploaded document.” [RSC1]Te sugiero que hables en pretérito. Aunque ahora no lo tengas hecho, cuando redactes la versión final sí… Revísalo en todo el documento. I’ve tried with Gemini Pro (my uni gives me access to it) and ChatGPT. Any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance. submitted by /u/Globi10
