The AI Advantage for Translators

A Practical Guide to Using AI for Translators

Miles Draper

If you're a translator watching AI reshape client expectations, the worry is real: faster turnarounds, tighter budgets, and the sense that everyone else has already figured this out. The AI Advantage for Translators closes that gap without asking you to compromise on quality. Miles Draper walks you through building an AI-assisted workflow from the ground up, starting with setting up your toolkit and writing prompts that actually produce usable translation drafts. You'll learn how to build glossaries AI respects, run consistency checks that catch what tired eyes miss, and handle client queries and feedback with confidence. There's practical guidance on pricing and negotiating in an AI-augmented market, plus chapters on legal, medical, and technical specialization and automating repetitive tasks. By the last page, you'll know how to compete on speed and price while keeping your professional edge. A quiet, practical place to start is simply turning the first page.
