I'm fluent in Visayan (Cebuano & Waray-Waray). The articles are hard to read, but no harder than, say, the translated Bible. I honestly didn't realize they were bot-constructed. very cool!

How often are they inaccurate though? I worked for a content-heavy startup that thought it was a good idea to machine-translate all our content. A brief skim through the translations easily found many instances where the meaning of sentences was entirely reversed.

The articles I have read have generally been history / geography. They tend to be okay.

Can't speak to tech / science / art in the Visayan space.
