「日本語テキストの英語テキスト化」に関しては生成系AIを利用することが有用と思われます。
ここでは、明治大学経営学部「デジタル経営人材開発トラック (DIGIT: Digital Insights for Growth and Innovation Track)」(https://www.meiji.ac.jp/keiei/features/digit.html)の冒頭部分の日本語テキストを例にとり、具体的に説明します。
ここでは下記のような2段階で英語テキスト化をおこなうことで、より適切な英語テキストを生成することを追究しています。(なお、英語テキスト化の前に、日本語テキストそれ自体に関して、生成系AIにチェックをさせた方がより良い結果を得ることができると思われます。)

#日本語原文
2019年に発表された政府の「AI戦略2019」において、「文理を問わず、全ての大学・高専生が、課程にて初級レベルの数理・データサイエンス・AIを習得すること」が目標として掲げられ、デジタル人材の育成があらゆる分野において求められています。
経営学部では、「デジタル経営人材開発トラック:DIGIT(Digital Insights for Growth and Innovation Track)」を設置し、データサイエンス・数理統計・AI等のデジタル技術を利用・活用してビジネスデータ・ソーシャルデータの分析からインサイトを探索し、新たな社会の在り方やプロセス改革・新製品サービス開発・事業創造等のイノベーションを創造できる「デジタル経営人材」(経営学部が掲げる「価値創造人材」の一類型)を育成します。
#英語訳
The government’s AI Strategy 2019, announced in 2019, sets the goal that all university and technical college students, regardless of their background, should master elementary level mathematics, data science and AI in their courses, and the development of digital human resources is required in all fields.
The Faculty of Business Administration has established the Digital Management Human Resource Development Track: DIGIT (Digital Insights for Growth and Innovation Track), where students can use and utilise digital technologies such as data science, mathematical statistics and AI to analyse business data and social data to search for insights and develop new ones. The DIGIT track will develop ‘digital management human resources’ (a type of ‘value-creating human resources’ as set out by the Faculty of Business Administration) who can search for insights from business data and social data and create innovations such as new ways of being in society, process reform, new product and service development, and business creation.
Revised Translation: The government’s “AI Strategy 2019,” announced in 2019, set forth the goal that all university and technical college students, regardless of their major, should acquire foundational knowledge in mathematics, data science, and AI within their curriculum. Consequently, there’s an increasing demand for the cultivation of digital talent across all sectors. The Faculty of Business Administration has established the “Digital Management Human Resource Development Track: DIGIT (Digital Insights for Growth and Innovation Track).” Through this track, students will harness digital technologies, such as data science, mathematical statistics, and AI, to analyze business and social data, derive insights, and innovate. This will culminate in the development of ‘digital management talent,’ a subset of the ‘value-creating talent’ that the Faculty of Business Administration aims to nurture, equipped to drive innovations in societal structures, process reforms, new product and service development, and entrepreneurial ventures.
Explanations:
- regardless of their major: Replaced “background” with “major” since “文理” in the original refers to humanities/sciences, suggesting the academic focus.
- acquire foundational knowledge: A slight rephrase to make the statement clearer and more fluid.
- cultivation of digital talent across all sectors: Reorganized the sentence for clarity.
- Through this track: Added for clarity and to make the flow smoother.
- harness digital technologies: Changed “use and utilise” to “harness” to avoid redundancy and make the expression more concise.
- derive insights, and innovate: Simplified and streamlined the structure for improved flow.
- culminate in the development of: Introduced to clarify the end goal of the track and to streamline the sentence structure.
- drive innovations in: Altered phrasing for better clarity and flow.
Overall, these changes aim to enhance clarity, reduce redundancy, and improve the coherence of the translation.
#英語訳(訂正版) The government’s AI Strategy 2019, announced in 2019, sets the goal of having all university and technical college students, regardless of their field of study, acquire elementary level skills in mathematics, data science and AI through their courses. The strategy also calls for the development of digital human resources in all fields. The Faculty of Business Administration has established a new track called DIGIT (Digital Insights for Growth and Innovation Track), which aims to develop ‘digital management human resources’ (a subtype of ‘value-creating human resources’ as defined by the faculty) who can use and apply digital technologies such as data science, mathematical statistics and AI to analyse business and social data, discover insights, and create innovations in various domains such as social transformation, process improvement, new product and service development, and business creation.
#訂正箇所と理由
- of havingという前置詞句を使いました。thatという関係代名詞は、主節と従属節の間に距離があるときに使われることが多く、文章の流れを妨げる可能性があります。
- field of studyという単語を使いました。backgroundという単語は、学問だけでなく、出身地や家族なども含む可能性があります。
- skillsという単語を使いました。masterという動詞は、高度な能力を示すことが多く、初級レベルの習得とは矛盾する可能性があります。
- through their coursesという句を文末に移動しました。文頭に置くと、主語や目的語との関係が不明確になる可能性があります。
- The strategy also calls forという表現を使いました。andという接続詞は、前後の文が同じ主語や目的語を持つ場合に使われることが多く、別の話題に移る場合には不適切な場合があります。
- a new track called DIGITという表現を使いました。DIGITが新しいプログラムであることを強調するためです。
- which aims to developという関係代名詞句を使いました。DIGITの目的を明確にするためです。
- a subtype ofという単語を使いました。a type ofという単語は、種類や分類の意味で使われることが多く、階層的な関係を示す場合には不適切な場合があります。
- as defined by the facultyという句を追加しました。経営学部が定義した用語であることを示すためです。
- use and applyという動詞を使いました。use and utiliseという表現は、同じ意味の単語を繰り返しているように読める可能性があります。
- business and social dataという表現を使いました。business data and social dataという表現は、データの種類が多くなるほど読みにくくなる可能性があります。
- discover insightsという表現を使いました。search for insightsという表現は、探索の過程であることを示す場合に使われることが多く、結果や成果を示す場合には不適切な場合があります。
- in various domains such as …という句を追加しました。イノベーションの対象領域を具体的に示すためです。
以上の訂正は、文法や読みやすさなどの観点から提案したものです。最終的な判断は、ご自身でなさってください。ご参考になれば幸いです。🙏
- Original: The government’s AI Strategy 2019, announced in 2019, sets the goal that all university and technical college students, regardless of their background, should master elementary level mathematics, data science and AI in their courses, and the development of digital human resources is required in all fields.
Suggested Correction: Announced in 2019, the government’s AI Strategy 2019 sets a goal for all university and technical college students, irrespective of their field of study, to master elementary level mathematics, data science, and AI in their courses. It underscores the need for the development of digital human resources across all fields.
Reason: The phrase “regardless of their background” could be misinterpreted as referring to the students’ personal or cultural background. The term “irrespective of their field of study” is more precise. The sentence structure has also been revised for better readability.
- Original: The Faculty of Business Administration has established the Digital Management Human Resource Development Track: DIGIT (Digital Insights for Growth and Innovation Track), where students can use and utilise digital technologies such as data science, mathematical statistics and AI to analyse business data and social data to search for insights and develop new ones.
Suggested Correction: The Faculty of Business Administration has established the ‘Digital Management Human Resource Development Track: DIGIT’ (Digital Insights for Growth and Innovation Track). This program enables students to leverage digital technologies, such as data science, mathematical statistics, and AI, to analyse business and social data, derive insights, and foster innovation.
Reason: The phrase “use and utilise” is redundant. The term “leverage” is more appropriate in this context. The sentence structure has been revised for better readability.
- Original: The DIGIT track will develop ‘digital management human resources’ (a type of ‘value-creating human resources’ as set out by the Faculty of Business Administration) who can search for insights from business data and social data and create innovations such as new ways of being in society, process reform, new product and service development, and business creation.
Suggested Correction: The DIGIT track aims to cultivate ‘digital management human resources’—a category of ‘value-creating human resources’ as defined by the Faculty of Business Administration. These individuals will be capable of extracting insights from business and social data and driving innovations, including societal transformation, process reform, new product and service development, and business creation.
Reason: The term “develop” is vague in this context. The term “cultivate” is more specific and appropriate. The sentence structure has been revised for better readability and clarity.

その他の修正
- 日本語原文の「新たな社会の在り方」は、英語では「new ways of being in society」と訳すのが自然です。
- 日本語原文の「プロセス改革」は、英語では「process reform」と訳すのが自然です。
- 日本語原文の「新製品サービス開発」は、英語では「new product and service development」と訳すのが自然です。
- 日本語原文の「事業創造」は、英語では「business creation」と訳すのが自然です。
これらの修正を行った上で、訂正後の英語訳は以下のようになります。
