How We Organized a Summer School on LLMs for the EU’s In-House Translation Team
Speaker:
Ondřej Bojar and Zdeněk Kasner and Tomáš Polák (UFAL MFF UK)
Abstract:
Directorate General for Translation (DGT) is the in-house language service provider (LSP) for the European Commission and one of the largest LSPs globally, managing all the text translation with an output of 2.3 million pages translated in 2024. We were invited to Luxembourg to run a three-day summer school on LLMs for them – or rather with them.
In the talk, we will highlight what we have learned during this hands-on event where we collaborated with experienced professional translators and engineers. Our goal was to make automatic translation with LLMs more reliable and tools more useful in their highly multilingual setting.
