To see translation at sea is to see Brest, at the tip of Brittany: the ways the light changes on the water, waves skipping along to break on the shore. It is to recognize the many sea-related industries, from cosmetics to defence, that are economic engines, essential to translation and technical writing, for Brest and for the region.
But to see translation and technical writing at sea is also to recognize the winds of change - driven chiefly by AGI and LLMs - that are currently buffeting the
