Learn how to use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepL to transform your work as a translator or interpreter. Build glossaries faster, run QA on long documents, post-edit machine translation safely, prepare interpreter briefings in 30 minutes, and master prompt engineering for translation excellence. Built for working linguists and language students. Earn a free certificate to add to your LinkedIn and resume.
Translation and interpreting have always demanded precision, domain knowledge, and tight deadlines. This free course shows working linguists and language students exactly how to bring AI tools into those daily pressures. You will work through ChatGPT, Claude, and DeepL side by side, learning how generative AI compares to translation memory, when to reach for each tool, and how to write prompts that respect style, tone, and register rather than flatten them.
The course moves from fundamentals into practical, hands-on workflows: building and refining glossaries with AI, running quality assurance checks on long documents, analyzing a source text before you translate a single word, and post-editing machine translation output safely and efficiently. Interpreters get a dedicated module on using AI to prepare domain-specific briefings and terminology sheets in a fraction of the usual time.
The final module covers the advanced layer that separates occasional AI users from linguists who have genuinely transformed their workflow: building custom GPTs for specialized domains, mastering prompt engineering for translation excellence, and designing a personal AI-augmented process you can apply immediately. The course is completely free. Complete all modules and pass the final exam to earn a certificate of completion you can add to your LinkedIn profile or resume.
