International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Translating local research into English as a lingua franca (ELF) connects local scholarship with global readership, but this process remains constrained by language barriers. Large language models (LLMs) offer advanced accessible solutions, but their responsible integration into academic translation requires a deeper understanding of the ...
