Is machine translation accurate?

Machine translation accuracy varies depending on the complexity of the text, the language pair, and the chosen machine translation engine. While it can provide a good starting point, human review and editing are often necessary for high-quality translations.

You can improve machine translation accuracy by using glossaries.

Will translations slow down my website?

Translated content loads at the same speed as regular pages. However, if a page hasn't been pre-translated, visitors may experience a delay while the translation is generated.
