I know Google Translate and other translation services make loads of mistakes, but they often give you a pretty good idea of what's being said.

- owenversteeg 9y agoFrom English to Spanish things are pretty decent. But from English to other languages it can get pretty horrible. But that doesn't even matter - the main thing is the barrier to reading a lot, not getting the gist from one article. If you can read English, you'll probably encounter Western perspectives all the time on the Internet. But if you're forced to go through a broken Chinese machine translation every time you encounter something in English, you're going to stay on the Chinese parts of the Internet.
