Google translate, good enough?
Today, I've received a package from Amazon containing router bits (for wood working not IT). It contains a so called "User Manual" which is obviously so badly translated, I assume automatically, that it will only fool a spell checker, that it is actually written in German.
I often hear and read good things about Google Translate but every time I read something from it, e.g. when a browser or webpage helpfully decides that I would prefer a butchered salad of German words instead of an English web page, I am repulsed.
- Tenoke 6y agoI don't know but I live in Berlin, dont know German and use google translate on all sorts of official and non-official stuff (e.g. for my Anmeldung two weeks ago, reading up on Mietendeckel, news reports, random letters and shopping sites etc.) and it works almost always. Obviously not as perfect as a real translator but good enough > 99% of the time.
- mbeex 6y agoIn this case, give DeepL a try. Translations between English and German at least, are magnitudes above Google, IMO. Not without errors, of course.
