Introduction

This guide supports international students in the Doctor of Ministry program by providing selected AI tools for translation.

When translating a foreign language text into English, it is necessary to correct and refine the output, or English translation, in order to ensure accuracy, conceptual integrity, and fluency. The English translation must convey the original idea and be written in acceptable academic quality.

Using AI tools and techniques can help students produce accurate and contextually appropriate translations while preserving the original intent and context. Be aware, however, that some AI translations may lack contextual accuracy, alter the original idea or concept, or contain grammatical errors.

This research guides provides selected AI tools that students can use to:

  • translate text from a native language into English,
  • correct and refine the translated text, and
  • check the grammar and edit the AI-generated translation(s).

Use the translation tools as a starting point, then refine the text through manual corrections with AI assistance writing tools.
