Bias Shield: Combating Bias in Machine Translation
Bias Shield is a powerful web browser extension that aims to push back against bias in machine translation. Compatible with Google Translate and DeepL Translator, this extension adds essential features to enhance your translation experience.
With Bias Shield, you gain access to two debiasing tools. The first is DeBiasByUs, a project that collects a database of gender-biased translations. By using Bias Shield, you can report gender-biased translations directly to DeBiasByUs, contributing to the improvement of translation accuracy. Additionally, Bias Shield alerts you when a translation has previously been reported as gender-biased, offering you an unbiased alternative if available.
The second tool integrated into Bias Shield is Fairslator. Fairslator automatically detects and corrects biases in machine translation caused by gender and forms of address. By seamlessly plugging Fairslator into Google Translate and DeepL Translator, Bias Shield allows you to utilize Fairslator's debiasing features without leaving the translation websites. This ensures a more accurate and unbiased translation experience.
With Bias Shield, you can actively combat bias in machine translation and contribute to fostering a more inclusive and fair online environment. Download this free extension today and experience a more reliable and unbiased translation process.
