移动翻译未满足的需求和机会AI
Unmet Needs and Opportunities for Mobile Translation AI
摘要：
翻译应用程序和设备通常在出国旅行时提供帮助的背景下呈现。然而，跨语言交流的需求范围要广得多。为了调查这些需求，我们对不同社会经济地位和地理区域的人群进行了三项研究：（1）美国的旅行者，（2）印度的移民工人，（3）美国的移民人口。我们比较了频繁旅行者的看法和实际的翻译需求与这两个移民社区。后两者的语言水平较低，在日常生活中需要最多的翻译。然而，目前的移动翻译应用程序并不能满足这些需求。我们的研究结果为移动翻译工具的使用实践和局限性提供了新的见解。最后，我们提出了设计建议，以帮助应用程序更好地满足这些未满足的需求。
英文摘要：
Translation apps and devices are often presented in the context of providing assistance while traveling abroad. However, the spectrum of needs for cross-language communication is much wider. To investigate these needs, we conducted three studies with populations spanning socioeconomic status and geographic regions: (1) United States-based travelers, (2) migrant workers in India, and (3) immigrant populations in the United States. We compare frequent travelers' perception and actual translation needs with those of the two migrant communities. The latter two, with low language proficiency, have the greatest translation needs to navigate their daily lives. However, current mobile translation apps do not meet these needs. Our findings provide new insights on the usage practices and limitations of mobile translation tools. Finally, we propose design implications to help apps better serve these unmet needs.
