After the first two issues of “Step-by-Step Guide to Using AI Translation”, I believe everyone has a preliminary understanding of how to use AI large model translation. We will continue to release a series of articles to teach everyone how to use AI translation to solve translation problems in work and study.
This article focuses on teaching everyone how to effectively use the [Knowledge Center] function for data reference and professional translation.
How to Make Translation More Professional?
If we are engaged in a very vertical or specialized field, we often encounter the following issues in translation tasks:
-
A large number of industry and company terminology needs to be translated into specific expressions, but these expressions may not be commonly used or universal
-
The company has accumulated a large amount of corpus over its history, but cannot utilize it efficiently
Imagine if machine translation couldautomatically search knowledge bases, learn from the retrieved knowledge, and apply it to the translation results, wouldn’t that be more efficient?
Try AI Translation
The Baidu Translation Intelligent Translation Service’s [Knowledge Center] function can achieve this effect. You can upload the materials you want the model to reference and learn from to the Knowledge Center, and AI translation will automatically refer to the knowledge you uploaded for translation, thus solving issues such as unusable corpus and inaccurate proper name translation.

AI Large Model Translation (Basic Version): Supports term replacement and intelligent reference memory base
-
AI Large Model Translation (Advanced Version): In addition to the basic version features, it can also intelligently reference knowledge base
01. Structured Knowledge Upload
Term Base: Specialized terms and fixed phrases in specific fields that have a unique translation in the current translation task. The AI large model will accurately replace them in the translation. For example, when translating the “Tesla Car Manual”, all instances of ‘Autopilot’ can be translated as ‘自动辅助驾驶功能’ (automatic driving assistance function). However, if there are other meanings in the article (multiple meanings), it is not suitable to use the term base function; the knowledge base should be used instead.
Personal Center -> Knowledge Center -> Term Base -> Create
Memory Base: A corpus of original text and translated text in a sentence-by-sentence comparison. For the same original text, the AI large model will use the same translation; for similar original texts, the AI large model will intelligently reference the memory base to output similar translation results. You can upload the memory base accumulated from past translation tasks here, and the AI large model will intelligently reference your memory base to output translations that better meet your expectations.
Personal Center -> Knowledge Center -> Knowledge Base -> Create
02. Unstructured Knowledge Upload
It is worth mentioning that the AI large model can also intelligently reference unstructured knowledge bases, including full-text original and translated articles, paragraph comparison texts, or bilingual adjacent co-occurrence texts.
-
Full-text Original and Translated Comparison: Original document + Translated document
Personal Center -> Knowledge Center -> Knowledge Base -> Create -> Bilingual Original and Translated Document
-
Paragraph Comparison of Original and Translated Text: Original paragraph + Translated paragraph, placed in one document.
-
Bilingual Adjacent Co-occurrence Text: Original text, Translated text, and related explanations.
For example, when encountering multiple meanings, we hope that the model does not mechanically replace words during the translation process, but instead intelligently selects the translation based on context. At this time, we can upload relevant reference knowledge to the knowledge base for the AI large model to intelligently reference. In addition to the original text and translated text, we can also supplement application scenarios and other explanatory information so that the AI large model can refer to annotation information for accurate translation For example:
-
Homo sapiens, commonly known as humans, is the only extant species under the genus Homo;
-
FSD stands for Full Self-Driving, which translates to “完全自动驾驶” in Chinese, is an evolved version of the automatic driving assistance (Autopilot) function, enabling Tesla to achieve full self-driving capabilities in the future.
Personal Center -> Knowledge Center -> Knowledge Base -> Create -> Reference Materials
When using AI translation, the AI large model will automatically reference the materials in the [Knowledge Center] for translation, translating certain polysemous words into the corresponding field translations based on context, greatly improving translation accuracy.
The basic version of AI translation can reference term base and memory base.
The advanced version of AI translation can reference all Knowledge Center materials.
Application Examples
Example 1
Original Text
Model S must maneuver with precision when Autopilot features are being used. Therefore, before some features can be used for the first time or after some types of service repairs, cameras must complete a self-calibration process. For your convenience, the instrument panel displays a progress indicator.

When using the automatic driving assistance function, the Model S must maneuver with precision. Therefore, before some features can be used for the first time or after certain types of service repairs, the cameras must complete a self-calibration process. For your convenience, the instrument panel displays a progress indicator.
Translating Tesla-related introductory materials involving its Autopilot technology, we downloaded and uploaded the Tesla official document on Autopilot to the Knowledge Center. AI translation will automatically reference the document information. In this example, we can see that AI translation translated Autopilot as “自动辅助驾驶” (automatic driving assistance) instead of literally translating it as “自动驾驶仪” (autopilot).
Example 2
Original Text
The Jungle is the part of the Summoner’s Rift that is not occupied by lanes or team’s bases, including the river that divides it.
Machine Translation Result
丛林是召唤师裂谷的一部分，不被小巷或团队基地占据，包括分隔它的河流。
Reference Material
-
ADC: The English term for ADC is: Attack damage carry, mainly outputting physical damage, primarily relying on normal attacks, and is a ranged hero, this type of hero is called ADC attack damage carry, also belongs to AD heroes. This type of hero is very useful in the later stages, hence the carry.
-
SUP: Refers to support, which is a classification of hero positions, abbreviated as SUP. TOP: Refers to top lane, a classification of hero positions, abbreviated as TOP.
-
MID: Refers to mid lane, a classification of hero positions, abbreviated as MID.
-
JUN: Refers to jungle, a classification of hero positions, abbreviated as JUN.
AI Translation Reference Knowledge Base Translation Result
野区是召唤师峡谷中没有被分路或团队基地占据的部分，包括将其分开的河流。
By uploading game terminology knowledge, the model references and determines that this sentence is related to the game “League of Legends” and automatically uses game terminology for translation (there is no relevant knowledge in the knowledge base), modifying the translation of Jungle from “丛林” to “野区”; modifying the translation of Summoner’s Rift from “召唤师裂谷” to “召唤师峡谷”; and modifying the translation of Lanes from “小巷” to “分路”.
Example 3
Original Text
AEB systems detect when a truck is in danger of striking the vehicle in front of it and braking automatically if needed. ACC helps with acceleration and/or braking to maintain a prescribed distance between it and the vehicle in front.
Traditional Machine Translation Result
AEB系统检测卡车何时有撞击前方车辆的危险，并在需要时自动制动。ACC有助于加速和/或制动，以保持其与前方车辆之间的规定距离。

AI Translation Reference Knowledge Base Result
自动紧急制动（AEB）系统在卡车有撞击前方车辆的危险时进行检测，并在必要时自动制动。自适应巡航（ACC）系统则帮助加速和/或刹车，以维持与前方车辆之间的预设距离。
When encountering abbreviated terms, traditional machine translation often outputs the original text, leaving the translated text unclear regarding the meaning of the abbreviation. However, the AI large model can accurately translate the Chinese meaning of the abbreviated term after referencing relevant knowledge, and kindly note the abbreviation in parentheses after the translation, making the translation more intuitive and understandable.
In fact, AI translation itself has the ability to judge relevant domain knowledge and context association. However, if there is historical corpus and related introductory materials as reference, it would be even more powerful, deepening the AI large model’s understanding of this domain knowledge, and ensuring higher translation accuracy and fluency.
Therefore, when translating materials such as product introductions and technical manuals, we can directly upload relevant reference materials to the Knowledge Center for AI translation to reference, which can save a lot of tedious work and yield more authentic and professional translations.
