Previously translation has focused on going between languages.
I think there's just as much benefit to translating within a given language.
* Translate corporate speak to plain English.
* Translate passive aggressive to calm and peaceful.
* Translate sensationalist to neutral (like the OP).
* Translate implicit and heavy with subtext to direct and assertive.
Of course the utility will depend on the training data you collect. For example to go from corporate speak -> english you would need thousands of pairs of "translated" sentences. Or you could use an LLM to translate for you, paying as you go
One time, local-dialect subtitles completely changed a movie experience for me
It was an American movie. Where I was, they usually watch movies with english audio and neutral Spanish subtitles
This time, instead of neutral Spanish, they used local Spanish with slang… wow, what a difference in the way the movie felt
Having local language and slang can convey meaning and emotions so much more effectively
Otherwise, it's someone typing as fast as the movie goes on the first viewing.
