Also, seemingly correct sentences that are incorrect is the last thing you want with translations, because a native speaker of the target language will not have any clue it is incorrect.
A barely legible machine translation that needs checking is better - if correct translation is a goal.

Yes, and you will have to spend a lot of time fixing crap like that, and you have to be fluent in both languages to be able to do it.
All machine translations are doing is giving companies an excuse to pay skilled workers less - and that money will be funelled to the tech industry.

No, it is definitely not, if you want a correct translation.
You do need both texts to edit/verify a machine translation.
Try reading machine translations of Chinese manuals in English, and you'll see machine translations are horrible, if you want correct translations.
comment in response to

Are you proficient enough in both languages to be qualified to evaluate if the translation is actually correct, as opposed to just seeing that the output text makes sense?

I was asked to "edit" a google text that had been translated from English to Norwegian some years ago.
Ended up having to ask for the original text, because there was no way to figure out what a sentence was meant to say.
This is a common issue.

No studies needed.
Anyone bilingual will tell you that you need to have both texts in front of you, and be fluent in both to make a proper translation.
It is not rare that it is impossible to figure out the original meaning of a garbled machine translation.

Dude, it is already happening.

If the GOPpers are still in charge you might get a sentence that is harsher pound for pound than being caught with Heroin.

I think that is a form of expression that should be covered by the 1st Amendment.
Also: This is an opportunity for me to state one of my favourite facts ever.
The WC was invented by Thomas Crapper.

Districting should be done by a computer that has been instructed to try to get the same amount of people into each district, and to keep a district as close to a circle as possible.

They are not overrepresented unless you ignore most of the grooming.

The Israeli government have proved themselves to be less reliable than Dave down pub.
There is no reason to believe anything they say.
Hamas is objectively more reliable.
Just to be clear, I do not in any way support Hamas.

1: "You are breaking the law."
2:" I
know."
2 needs to go to jail.
Not going to happen though, because being a fascist is a prerequisite for joining any part of the US military or law enforcement.

Considering white British are overrepresented in grrooming gangs, the focus on Asian grooming gangs is racist AF.
If you ignore that most sexual grooming is done by people who are known to the victim, that only 1/3 of suspect is known from statistics, you can blame Asians...
comment in response to

Nope!
I want all members of grooming gangs to be arrested, prosecuted, convicted, and thrown in jail.
Which is why I want an end to the far-right narrative that it is an issue with Asian men.
You are the one helpting groomers, by refusing to acknowedge white men are overrepresented.

The Catholic Church, and the CofE would be considered grooming gangs if they were not hiding behind religion.
I think they should both be proscribed in the UK.
They have hurt way more UK people than any terrorist organsation have.
Well, except perhaps The Conservative and Unionist Party.

White British people are overrepresented in that demographic, unless you use a very narrow, and racist, definition of what a grooming gang is.
Starmer seems to be very fond of validating far-right talking points.
If he was validating Just Stop Oil, he'd go to jail for that kind of attitude.

Israel attacked Iran because they had lost teh narrative on their Gaza genocide.
They are trying to play the victim when Iran, very legally, strikes back.
This is Nazi tactics.
comment in response to
post
The IDF is highly likely massacring civilians in Gaza right now.
The attack on Iran happened because Palestine was about to get recognition from major countries.
This follows standard Israeli patterns of behaviour.
They killed the internet in Gaza before attacking Iran.
Iran is just a distraction.

In cases like these "white man" usually means "Neo-Nazi terrorist".
comment in response to

I note you did not even try to deny working in the Tel Aviv troll factory.
We will hunt down every single person supporting the genocide in Gaza, and put you all on trial.
Your 1945 is coming Nazi.

How is the weather at the Tel Aviv troll factory Nazi?
comment in response to

You are the Nazi.
Iran is striking back against the genocidal Nazis who attacked them to deflect from their massacres in Gaza.

It's cute that you know so little military history that you think the USMC ever had any honor.

You need to impeach Orange Shitler and his fascist lackeys in the GOP every, and the SCOTUS too.
The USA has been taken over by fascists; are you going to fight it, or pretend everything is normal?
comment in response to
post
Israel's claim that it is fighting Hamas because they are an existential threat is proved false by them starting other wars.
The attacking on Iran proves they are committing genocide in Palestine.
Also, have Gaza got its internet back, or is a massacre going on while the world watches Iran?

Vigelandsparken (The Vigeland Park) is a must.
It's a sculpture park. Easily accessible by tram/underground, or bus from city centre.
Akershus festning (Akershus Fortress) is also really nice, with some good views over the harbour/fjord.
Nice to walk through the inside too.

Yes, I can.
It will give results of other photos online taken in the same location.
This is just search basics.
You are impressed that massive energy eating data centres are replicating things a much simpler google search engine let you do more than a decade ago.

That is because people overshare.
This is an old issue, pre-2010, and hss absolytely nothing to do with algorithms.

Uhm...
Usually takes me less than two minutes to find a photo's origin/location doing a reverse image search.
Ten minutes is very slow.
