This preliminary cross-sectional study, focusing on Artificial Intelligence (AI), aimed to assess the impact of ChatGPT on translation within an Arab context. It primarily explored the attitudes of a sample of translation teachers and students through semi-structured interviews and projective techniques. Data collection included gathering information about the advantages and challenges that ChatGPT, in comparison to Google Translate, had introduced to the field of translation and translation teaching. The results indicated that nearly all the participants were satisfied with ChatGPT. The results also revealed that most students preferred ChatGPT over Google Translate, while most teachers favored Google Translate. The study also found that the participants recognized both positive and negative aspects of using ChatGPT in translation. Findings also indicated that ChatGPT, as a recent AI-based translation-related technology, is more valuable for mechanical processes of writing and editing translated texts than for tasks requiring judgment, such as fine-tuning and double-checking. While it offers various advantages, AI also presents new challenges that educators and stakeholders need to address accordingly.

这项初步横断面研究重点关注人工智能 (AI)，旨在评估 ChatGPT 对阿拉伯语背景下翻译的影响。它主要通过半结构化访谈和投射技巧探讨翻译教师和学生样本的态度。数据收集包括收集有关 ChatGPT 与 Google Translate 相比给翻译和翻译教学领域带来的优势和挑战的信息。结果表明，几乎所有参与者都对 ChatGPT 感到满意。结果还显示，大多数学生更喜欢 ChatGPT 而不是 Google 翻译，而大多数教师则更喜欢 Google 翻译。研究还发现，参与者认识到在翻译中使用 ChatGPT 的积极和消极方面。研究结果还表明，ChatGPT 作为一种最新的基于人工智能的翻译相关技术，对于编写和编辑翻译文本的机械过程比需要判断的任务（例如微调和双重检查）更有价值。虽然人工智能提供了各种优势，但它也提出了教育工作者和利益相关者需要相应解决的新挑战。
