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.
