I suppose. I am fluent in two languages (also Spanish) so I'm in a position to be able to judge the quality of a translation, and I would say that pasting in blocks of text to translate them these days yields a result that's quite a bit better than miserable, thought indeed not flawless yet.
- solipsism 11y agoIf you're at the point where being fluent in both languages is necessary to assess the quality of a translation, then it's already very high quality. Most poor translations are easily judged as such by anyone fluent in only the target language.
