Shaping Translation Futures: The Importance of Agentic Workflows

Güliz Can, Lecturer and PhD Candidate at 29 Mayis University

This presentation explores how agentic workflows are reshaping translation project management by moving AI beyond automation into roles such as quality evaluation, terminology management, and decision support. Drawing on insights from academia and industry, it highlights how early prototypes reveal new possibilities for efficiency, accountability, and human-AI collaboration.

14:35-14:55 (GMT+3)

Prompting Towards Precision: Evaluating Translation Quality through Role-Based Prompting in Medical Contexts

Mehmet Ferit Doğan, PhD Candidate at 29 Mayis University

This study examines role-based prompting in medical translation, comparing LLM outputs with zero-shot prompts and Google Translate through both automated metrics and customized error analysis. The findings highlight that while role-based prompts do not guarantee higher accuracy, reliable workflows emerge when AI is integrated into human-in-the-loop systems, especially in high-stakes domains like pharmaceuticals.

14:55-15:15 (GMT+3)

Strategic Human-AI Collaboration in Multilingual Production: A Partnership Approach

Dr. Muhammed Baydere, Lecturer at Karadeniz Technical University

This presentation frames AI not just as a tool but as a strategic partner, where translators’ expertise and decision-making guide collaborative workflows. It emphasizes the mindset shift from text-level execution to strategic management, showing how continuous learning and experimentation can enhance quality and reaffirm the enduring value of human expertise in an AI-driven ecosystem.
