    fair way off perfect translation

    Not perfect, but a lot of translation is scary good these days. Of course there may be times when errors get introduced, so for precise communication you’d need human review, but you can throw college level essays into something like https://deepL.com and a lot of times you’d never know the difference.

    The days of “this is obviously badly machine translated” are pretty much gone.

        True, but in the context of this thread I can speak to some relatively extensive experience going between English and Japanese.
