Week 12 - Final Thoughts and Goodbye!

Hello dear readers! Welcome to the end of this 12-week journey. Since developing the platform took up a larger chunk of this project timeline than expected, I’m planning to extend my evaluation in the future. There’s a couple of bugs in the platform I’ll have to fix first, and I’m aiming to conduct more systematic experimentation with the latest image-editing models. As of now, my platform’s purpose is to assist my evaluation of the efficacy and feasibility of “transcreation,” but it can also grow to become an accessible service for users to, as advertised, “translate and trancreate children’s books.” 

A sincere thank you to my gracious translators! 

Aindra Tan – Burmese/Myanmar 

Tadesse Destaw Belay – Amharic/Ethiopia 

Marie Yi-Cunningham – Korean/South Korea

Clarisse Ayoga – French/Canada

And a final thank you to my advisors:
