    The paper asks whether LLM translation actually benefits from human-style reasoning. In that approach, the model first analyses the source text (idioms, meanings and similar aspects), then drafts a translation, then refines it. The authors re-implement the four-step Step-by-step prompt of Briakou et al. (2024), a…
  2. How Important is ‘Perfect' English for Machine Translation Prompts? (2026 · 1 citation)
    LLMs now lead machine translation benchmarks, but they are tuned on carefully written standard English prompts.
