Not only that it is probably the best translation engine ever made. It translates incredibly well. This is likely one of the industries that is going to be hit severely.

I tried using it to translate subtitles for a movie and the results were pretty bad. I found DeepL giving marginally better results but those were pretty bad as well. To the point that I uploaded the subtitles in opensubtitles.org and they were taken down because of very low quality.

depending on the domain !! it is absolutely confident, right, wrong or in the middle.. actually "dangerous" if you think about a few contexts

It’s able to translate dead languages reasonably well, too. I asked it to translate various text into Pali and it did a good job, and did a reasonable job providing the text of various Buddhist sutta and decent translations into English.

My wife speaks Bemba - a fairly common language in South-central Africa. I just asked it to translate a sentence to Bemba and it failed miserably. What it put out wasn't even Bemba, she didn't know what language it was.

I guess is it common on the internet? Pali is widely translated and referred to and available (in the Buddhist canon, the original Buddhist teaches were first written in Pali and so it’s widely studied ala Latin). I was impressed but not surprised it was able to do it.

the article does a pretty bad job in answering this question, it says there was a translation, and it is implied that what is being talked about is the final decision was translated (by vice?) from spanish, but is silent of any translation of the AI narration, etc

"The arguments for this decision will be determined in line with the use of artificial intelligence (AI),” Garcia wrote in the decision, which was translated from Spanish. “Accordingly, we entered parts of the legal questions posed in these proceedings."

I mean it just studies relations between words, so I can be trained for any language as long as there is content for it.

Though not sure it can distinguish colombian law vs any other spanish speaking country law.

So far my primary use case has been generating non-sense German metal songs and asking it how to more naturally phrase things as I learn Spanish.
