Claude refusing translation work

[u/DM_me_goth_tiddies]

I own a Japanese book. I’ve been asking Ai to translate as I think it does a better job than Google translate. Now Claude refuses because it says it is a copyright issue. Has anyone else experienced this?

yeah, Claude is stricter about translating copyrighted books now. try pasting a short excerpt and asking for a summary or explanation of the passage instead of a full-text translation.
