| Summary: | Indian indentureship to the Dutch, English, and French Caribbean began in the 1840s. Non-indentured Indian migration occurred following the First World War and Indians have also engaged in intra-regional migration. Although Indians are prominent in Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Guadeloupe and Suriname, they remain a minority within the Caribbean.Against the backdrop of assimilation, creolization, and appropriation, who and what qualifies as Indo-Caribbean? How does the translator navigate these multiple identities? The translation of minority Caribbean languages and cultures remains an understudied area of scholarship in translation studies both regionally and internationally. No study has, to date, examined how Indo-Caribbean culture is translated by Generative Artificial Intelligence. This paper will examine the extent to which ChatGPT can accurately translate Trinidadian Bhojpuri into French using a corpus compiled by Lise Winer. |
