That translates to 'is not good' in my language. Your low-key sarcasm is much appreciated.
- seandhi 9y agoHaha, it was only kind of sarcastic. But thank you. I meant, if you evaluate based on things like speed, volume, and other measures, and quality of translation is secondary to “good enough” it may be better than humans. However, if you base purely on accuracy, no way. :-)
- JumpCrisscross 9y ago> That translates to 'is not good' in my language The original line is more precise. In most cases, I need the gist of a block of text in an unfamiliar language. Google Translate is faster and cheaper than a human translator. That makes it better, for this purpose, than a human, despite its lower accuracy. When I need legal documents translated, most human translators are not good enough. A specialist, and only a specialist, will do.
