AI translation optimization, Culturally-loaded words, Audio Guide, Hubei Provincial Museum.

This study examines the performance and optimization pathways of artificial intelligence in translating culturally-loaded words, focusing on the guide texts of the Hubei Provincial Museum. Through interviews and questionnaires, this study systematically examines the major challenge AI faces, namely the loss of cultural information, when translating culturally-loaded words with historical backgrounds, cultural symbolism, or context-dependent meanings. This paper proposes optimization directions including building a corpus of culturally-loaded words, adopting multimodal presentation, and establishing human-machine collaboration models.
