notes on AI translation tools (English, pāḷi, chinese)

2025 march: Friend recommended immersivetranslate for English to fluent modern spoken Chinese

After carefully considering the complexities involved in the previous translation workflow, I've identified a more efficient solution that better suits our needs. 

Specifically, I recommend using the Immersive Translator Chrome plugin for i18N, 

combined with the DeepSeek model (if need translate to Chinese)—

a Chinese AI model with enhanced intelligence and more comprehensive translation capabilities from English to Chinese.

After comparing the two most advanced AI models—

OpenAI's GPT-4o and DeepSeek Chat—

in terms of Chinese translation accuracy and comprehension, 

I've found that DeepSeek provides superior results. 

For example, your blog referred to “defines noble silence as second jhāna”; 

DeepSeek translates this as “圣默然,” which aligns closely with habitual and commonly used terminology, 

rather than the literal translation "高贵的沉默."
