I used the iOS translate feature to verify and they all seem similar or the same when translated to English.

Thanks for the reminder to trust but verify

i think it's important to recognize most are based on the same training modalities and all begin with english as the root language - translations are geared toward english fundamentalism and supremacy, not equivalency. just be aware of that.

Wow I had no idea. Is there a better way to verify a translation is accurate other than speaking the language?

i don't know - i figured it out by speaking the other language and recognizing the translations were trash. and misleading, to a degree.

haha - not that kind. the real kind. and it's not your fault if the language models are corrupt. just an awareness. using foreign languages to code if you don't speak them is really a significant issue.
