It does a somewhat decent job of English <-> Russian, keeping most of the meaning, but some mistakes it makes are hilarious.
For example, I tried this: "I had tried translating a test sentence and I got a rate limit related error..." It used the word "приговор", which does mean "sentence", except it's the kind courts give. The right word is "предложение", which means a (grammatical) sentence, but also a suggestion.
Languages are hard. I'm impressed.
edit: "I'm impressed." for some reason translates into "Я впечатлена." — technically correct but as though the speaker is female. That's weird.
- tom_mellior 6y ago> technically correct but as though the speaker is female. That's weird. The majority of the world's population is female, so absent other information this seems to be the correct guess if no "generic" option is available.
- grishka 6y agoIn Russian, the "default" form is male. Usually. For adjectives and adverbs specifically, the infinitive is male and singular. Verbs only have gender in the past tense, so there's no default I guess?
- zoomablemind 6y ago> "I'm impressed." for some reason translates into "Я впечатлена." — technically correct but as though the speaker is female... Context indeed is insufficient. On the other hand some languages have neutral forms, which may be more appropriate in mixed or insufficient contexts. For example, in this case the Russian equivalent could be impersonal "Впечатляет!", as in "This impresses me!" However, this is more interpretation, than translation. BTW, French translation gives it in masculin "Je suis impressionné."
