This kind of artificial intelligence software can provide low-cost, efficient and high-quality translation services, quickly translate Chinese web texts into other languages, and also modify Web texts according to local conditions according to the attributes of Haiti, reducing understanding barriers caused by cultural differences. Since last year, the popularity of such software has been conducive to the direct export of Chinese online literature on overseas platforms, accelerating the overseas layout of online literature.
