Are Translators Losing Their Jobs Because of Google Translate?

A recent study claims that the more people search for "Google Translate," the fewer translation jobs exist in those regions.

But wait... is that really proof? Or just fear?

Gabriel Fairman wonders: "Is that really a proof? Or that just means translators are scared?"

In this clip, we break down why the data might be flawed and what’s driving change in the translation industry.

Is AI just making translators obsolete, or are we misreading the signs?

“Maybe I’ve always had impostor syndrome... but this is the first time I feel like I’m doing something that truly matters.”

In our latest Merging Minds episode, Mario Pluzny opens up, not just about localization tech, but about something much deeper:

The journey to finding real purpose in your work.

It’s easy to climb the ranks, check the boxes, and still feel like you’re wearing someone else’s suit.

But what happens when you finally build something that reflects who you are—your values, your voice, your impact?

For Mario, that’s where impostor syndrome begins to fade.
Not because the fear goes away, but because the mission gets louder than the doubt.

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite belong in the room you worked hard to get into, this conversation is for you.

Stuck in a "soup of jargon"?

Watch how letting go might be the key to moving forward.

“Segments are great… but they’re also a prison.” - Gabriel Fairman.

For decades, segments brought structure and consistency to translation. But in today’s AI-powered world, that structure is starting to feel more like a cage.

Let's talk about the limitations of segment-based workflows and why it's time to move toward something better.

With Free Flow, you're no longer stuck translating sentence by sentence.

You’re creating meaning, adapting freely, and working with AI the way it was meant to be used.

Imagine this: you add a new term to your glossary. Just one.

Now, your AI starts recalibrating everything:

✔️ Shifting tone from formal to informal,
✔️ Tweaking phrasing to sound more natural,
✔️ Adapting content from one country to another,
✔️ And reshaping sentences to match that one term’s new meaning.

Suddenly, it’s not just one change.

It’s a
C
A
S
C
A
D
E
like dominoes falling in every direction.

This is what happens when AI understands semantics. It doesn’t just translate. It adapts.

And one small glossary update can quietly reshape everything.

That’s why we built our Glossary Kanban, so you can manage those dominos before they fall.

Translation isn’t a niche anymore.

It’s not just about how good AI is. It’s about who’s paying attention.

Executives are finally asking:

“Do we really need to spend millions on localization?”

That shift in perception is shaking the industry harder than any algorithm ever could.

The question isn’t whether AI will replace translators.

The real question is: Will businesses see your value before it’s too late?

What do you think? Are we evolving or just cutting costs?
