- st_goliath 6y agoIn my experience, Google Translate often delivers quite good results for sentences that are spelled correctly and don't make much use of implied subjects/objects. But if there is as much as a typo, it has a particular habit of just dropping words or even entire sentence fragments that it can't quite make sense of, and then playing fast and loose when it comes to interpreting the remaining verbs and re-inserting implied subjects, so it can somehow still shoehorn it into a reasonable English sentence. Edit: Minor clarification: I'm referring to past experience translating Chinese to English in particular.
