A professional human translator working without AI is not doing AI translation
Editorial commentary
AI translation is generally considered a writing aid rather than authorship contribution, and is disclosable on the same basis as AI-assisted writing. Translations published as standalone works typically require a human translator credited as such; AI-only translations should be disclosed and ideally human-reviewed for technical accuracy.
