Abstract:
This study analyzed ChatGPT's translation capabilities in Filipino and
English. The original text was the Spanish poem 'Filipinas' by Jose Palma,
which is the source language for the Philippine National Anthem and was
translated by ChatGPT into Filipino and English. The translations generated
by ChatGPT were then compared to the existing translations of the anthem,
such as 1) 'Land of the Morning' by Osias and Lane in English and 2) 'Lupang
Hinirang' by de Leon in Filipino. Translations generated by ChatGPT were
evaluated using a Likert Scale to determine their proximity to or divergence
from the identified existing translations. The analysis revealed that ChatGPT
AI tool has the ability to construct its own linguistic structures and convey
complex ideas to aid in a better understanding of the text. However, human
discernment is still significant to guarantee translations align with the
intended meaning, culture and context.
