8 Pretranslating PO Files
*************************

   As a translator, you may save yourself some work by starting from a
reasonably good translation produced by a machine, and modify that
translation, to make it perfect.

   Thus, before you start working on a translation, you might have the
PO file _pretranslated_.

   This process, also called _machine translation_, is nowadays best
performed through a Large Language Model (LLM). (See

.)
