Transformasi Praktik Penerjemahan Mahasiswa PBA melalui Pemanfaatan AI

Abstract

With the advancement of technology, translation practices have transformed from manual translation to digital translation utilizing A-based platforms. This study aims to explore the transformation of translation practices among PBA students through the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), such as Google Translate, ChatGPT, Google Lens, DeepL, and Microsoft Translator. The respondents in this study were 24 seventh-semester PBA students at State Islamic University of Ponorogo. Data were collecting using a questionnaire consisting of 12 questions, including six multiple-response items and six Likert-scale items. The data analysis employed descriptive statistics for Likert-scale questions and percentage frequency analysis for multiple-response questions. The results indicate a significant shift form manual translation to AI-assisted translation. ChatGPT emerged as the most frequently used tool among PBA students for completing their assignments, while DeepL was preferred for its ability to translate long contexts, ase of use, and fast translation output. The majority of students utilized AI to translate academic texts, motivated by ease of use, speed, and recommendations from lecturers op peers. Although AI facilitates and accelerates translation, students remain aware of its limitations and continue to review translations to ensure quality. The use of AI has transformed PBA students’ translation practices at Islamic State University of Ponorogo by enhancing efficiency while maintaining the critical role of humans in evaluating translation outcomes. This study recommends integrating AI a supportive tool in translation activities to improve both technological literacy and language competence
