Artificial Intelligence And Language Mediation In Official Translation Offices In Algeria: Issues, Practices And Limits
Authors : Lamraoui Lilia .
Abstract
This study examines how artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes language mediation in Algerian official translation offices. Based on a corpus of twenty authentic documents translated with neural and generative tools and semi structured interviews with five sworn translators, it analyses changes in workflows, task allocation and professional responsibility. The findings show that AI improves processing speed and textual fluency for repetitive, standardized segments but cannot ensure, on its own, the legal accuracy, terminological consistency and cultural adequacy required in sworn translation. The article argues for a hybrid “augmented” mediation model, in which AI handles routine volume while sworn translators remain the ultimate legal and ethical guarantors.
