    If you take into account that the average human cannot translate chinese at all...

    Also, if you take into account that some translators try to pass off a MTL'd script as a professional translation worthy of money...

    It learns from news right?
    News have this certain structure when you read one, and it ain't like a novel.

    That difference may make it hard for that AI to do the same work with a CN novel.
    But it's possible, I believe in the future.

    Well, let's hope this will be true. Cause you know, even MTL isn't that hard when it's CN novels anyway, so AI with more advanced then it can totally be possible.

    Yeah I agree, It's kinda nonsense out of all languages you could translate too you choose chinese which again isnt a language so it will be funny to see what they mean and if it is a very basic setup which is what I think it is

    It can't translate novel. Give it a more complex sentence and it'll say service not available.
