- lispm 8y agoDeepL is better, but it basically has the same problems. I understand both German and English - and I can easily detect where DeepL also shifts the meaning of sentences, sometimes even to mean the opposite. DeepL like Google Translate has no concept for 'is the meaning preserved?'. You may think that you can now read German news, but in fact you would not know if the sentence meaning has been preserved in the English translation. The words itself might look as if the sentence makes sense - but the meaning is actually shifted - slight differences, but also possibly the complete opposite. The translation also does not give you any indication where this might be and where the translation is based on weak training material or where there is some inference needed for a successful translation.
