I am amazed that this statement is unqualified. There is not one ounce of doubt that some strains of language thought are very well suited to translation, while others really are not. On tech forums, so much is assumed to be formal writing for work. That is not the only kind of writing. As much as I believe you, and I do, there are realms of written words that just will not yield to fast-spinning tumblers IMHO. (those with formal linguistic and grammar training maybe jump in here.. )

No OP but it's really not just "formal writing". I personally haven't even tested it on formal writing yet (mostly passages of fiction) and it's target language to English is miles ahead of any other machine translator out there. and Frankly, better than most human translations i've come across.

It really is pretty remarkable. I research and write about a historic topic that has its roots in France so I had always had the idea of some day localizing my site into French. And it is shockingly good at translating full articles. It understands the context of what is written and knows which words to use to keep the same meaning when literally humans can’t even do it well as there are terms and phrases used 200 years ago that just aren’t used anymore. But are correct and relevant in the context of these antiques.
